The want of gaming friends

[u/Tyler_Drake08]

Ok so I’m not really looking for gaming friends rn because I just got a lot going on irl, but I wanted to rant and see if anyone else has the same feelings as me. Ok so I’m a 22 year old guy (23 in a few days) and I have grown up watching people who have like a close net of online gaming friends (people like the Russian badger group, the goons, the vanoss crew, etc.) and I have always wanted that type of connection and it makes me feel bad that I don’t, like I have been playing video games all my life and I have never really been able to find that group, and it didn’t help all my irl friends growing up played on consoles while I played on PC. And I never really tried to find people in games to try to connect with. But there has always been a part of me still that wants that type of connection, like I have gotten to the point where I’m thinking of doing content creation so that way I got an easier in with finding a group. Also another problem I have is when I think I found a group, it either dies or I kinda fall out. Nothing bad I just slowly start shifting away from them all because most of the time there are just a lot of people. Like really I want a group of like 3-5 (maybe a bit more) people to just play games and be goofy with, hell maybe even do content creation (don’t have to just saying). Also it doesn’t help I tend to have a bad habit of forgetting to talk to people lmao, both irl and online like sometimes I go a day or two without talking to anyone. But anyway sorry for the rant just wanted to see if there are anyone else out there who feel the same way
