Followed the advice of my fellow Houstonians and I’m at a dead end
It feels like there’s nothing to do in this stupid fucking city besides eat and drink. Why is everyone’s idea of fun just sitting down in a fucking restaurant?!??!?! As a young person, I thought it would so easy to find a bunch of stuff to do around Houston. On paper, it looks like I have plenty of choices, but in reality that s**t dwindles down real fast. I don’t drink or enjoy being around drunk people, so that knocks out majority of s**t to do already. I really enjoy reading, so I joined some book clubs, but both of them were mainly full of condescending people that treated me like I was dumb. Normally, I don’t mind doing stuff by myself. Like arcades, movies, etc., but it’s been getting a bit lonely lately. I tried to follow yall advice and join meet up groups but they’re full of cliques. What’s the point of inviting everyone to come if you’re just going to basically ignore them and talk to your own friends the whole time??? People talk to those that they’re familiar with and I get that. But they don’t make any effort to make the newcomers feel welcome. Even the freaking discord group. It’s just the same little group of people talking to each other day in and day out. It’s already a little hard for me to put myself out there and things like that just steer me away from doing it at all. I like jogging, so I thought I’d hit up a park and soak up some of this warm weather. Silly me! There’s literally nowhere to park. I understand that everyone else had the same idea, so I can’t be mad at them for getting there first. It’s just irritating because I was basically SOL. The public transit is s**t and I can’t afford to take Uber/Lyft back-and-forth everywhere. I’m trying so hard to make friends and find stuff that I like to do, but it’s getting harder and harder every day. I literally have no idea what else to try. I usually just suck it up and call it a day, but this time it’s really getting to me. I feel like I’m wasting my youth away sitting around my apartment with nothing to do and nobody to talk to. That’s also why you guys are getting this ramble; because I have no one else to complain to. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
P.S.- I swear I’m not always this angry. I’m just really frustrated with Houston at the moment
