I'm 22 and spend almost all of my time inside because I dont have any IRL friends. I haven't had an IRL relationship in 5 years either, and the only way I can think of forming one is by knowing people in the first place. I was a highschool dropout and spent most of my college days shitposting on phone. The last time I had a group of friends I would interact with regularly I was 14. I have no idea where I can meet people and make friends now that I missed some of the biggest social opportunities of my life, what should I do to make this happen?

Go to a church, just don't buy into their bullshit.

Protip: most people don't have real friends, they just go to various social events and try to fake fitting in.

I've met people using craigslist I met a dude on there to play video games with as I didn't have a lot of male friends at the time but he was kinda weird. I've used dating sites, I've met my neighbors and their friends.. , I've met people going to shows since I'm heavily into music and for me drinking and listening music is how I feel most comfortable around other people.
I've met people at work and have still kept in contact with them after we aren't working there anymore and then met their friends. idk I naturally have people come up and talk to me because of my magnetic personality. But sometimes I don't like that because theres a lot of weird people out their and I'm usually in my head and don't have the time to decipher what they want from me.
I've also met new people from these forums, I met vaporwave and he was pretty chill, just really stoned.. He was saying I'm a lot bigger in person than I am in tc lol. I also met mantitties from rdfrn and he was a younger gont I think he's 22 now or so himself like you but it was funny I met him and his gf for pizza downtown and he was like "You don't seem nearly as crazy as you do online I was kinda worried about meeting you but you seem normal" lol
I also go to this place called barflys occasionally and have met several guys and girls, I usually go there if the beer store is closed and i just want a few drinks before going to bed but I've met some people there.
its just OP you're not a dumb guy but you're kinda of a pussy and don't get out a lot. But personally for me the last couple months besides going to work I don't talk to people and just stay in my room, I have a date in a lil while with this chicken so it should be good.

But seriously, getting a job is by far the easiest and most effective way of making new friends imo. Working at a large grocery store would be great because it would be mostly or at least about half high school and college aged kids.

i've been meeting a bunch of random people lately, dunno how much of it will result in friendships tho. like last night i was a little fucked up on shrooms making notes for a job in this apt and a bunch of africans were having a like a pre-wedding get together. i gave some smokes[a couple packs of lame cigs] to a guy around the door outside as a gift, ended up having a discussion with a dude in the stair well, met the groom, shook some hands it was great.
so do [a bit] of shrooms and go crash a wedding i guess?

I think music is the best way for you which is what I've been telling you for centuries. If you go to a fucking bar or somewhere people are playing music you'll meet weird people you can start a relationship with. Shit like that. Go for the broken hipster crowd. Go to a library and start conversations with people that make them laugh and disarm them. Follow children into the bathroom and ask if they need help defecating.

I'm in a similar situation as OP except I'm a decade older. Normal people are usually disgusted by stories of drug use or months of dissociation and they can't relate, so it's hard to find common ground. The truth is that nobody will care about you unless you are into the same things or similar things as they are. So as previous posters have mentioned, work, basically. Most people's lives are about what they're going to do with their future/are currently doing with their future. You are still incredibly young and can get into any sort of work area you want.
I know it sounds fucking lame and gay but realistically, people won't care about you unless you have something going on with a career or if not that then just something you are doing with your life. Did you graduate college? If you can get into a university and get into some program and immerse yourself in it, that's an easy way to make friends. Especially if you are smart and people can ask you for help.
My other idea is join a gym, not the kind that you go to alone, but the kind that has group classes. You need to get in shape anyways and you'll meet people. And people treat you much better if you are in shape/attractive. Exercise and eating healthy is also addictive. If you get really into shape and start doing yoga right now in 5 years you can be fucking girls that look like this
