reject friends. become a recluse. write a book about how much the industrial revolution is a failure.
you got followers now. you also got some glow in the dark niggers following you around, also.

I'm in a similar situation, but my problem is I get bored with the friends I make. I can make lots of friends and they're decent people and we share common interests, but mostly we don't think the same way or they aren't interesting enough for me after a while so I decide to stop talking to them. People don't realise you need to nurture a friendship, it is a relationship which requires lots of work. I just never put in the effort because I'm too entitled. Either that or I say something a little too out there and people distance themselves like that one time I said nigga in front of my leftist friends. Never make friends with political people.

Join a local club.

Can be anything, a hobby you have or something brand new. It doesn't have to be expensive or super time consuming. Book club, sports, pool / snooker, hiking, swimming. Depends on what's around.

You get chatting to a few people, and if you show up to 2 or 3 meeting you'll probably get invited out for drinks or a social event.

As for being good at conversations, read a few books that interest you, or failing that watch some documentaries. Be aware of world events, but going full debate bro won't get you invited back to social events. Go into town and see some sights. Gives you something interesting to talk about.

For the most part you don't. You socialize with your friends you grew up with until some of you move away. Clubs and such depend on where you live, but you're unlikely to meet many who are more than acquittances.

That's next to impossible, in this day and age. Even if you're the most charismatic and extroverted motherfucker on the planet. Every man, woman and child in any 1st-World country has some kind of strong political opinion or ideology they subscribe to

Thats the idea.

Nah just kidding. I mean, I have had friends who have political opinions but they don't subscribe to them so strongly that they can't simply resolve by saying "eh, each to their own". Then again, I don't live in America.

I don't live in America, either. It doesn't matter where you live. People nowadays are all political as shit everywhere

I don't know. I agree people are extremely political these days but I simply cannot believe that there is nobody out there that makes every conversation about politics and shuns someone because of their opinions. Maybe I'm being optimistic.
