Hello. I have an important question today. You may be an older adult, in that case please tell me what you did in this case, or if you have children/know people in their twenties or thirties, you can tell me what they do. Please keep in mind I am asking more about single people.

This is concerning me.

When you are still in school or at university, you are "automatically" part of a large group of people your age. You see them every day so socialising is inevitable. Even if you are introverted or not open, you can count on guaranteed interaction and you are doing something useful.
Once you finish university, where do most people get these "consistent" interactions? Where and how do they meet the majority of new people? And how and where do they consistently interact with people their own age? (You can think outside of the box, too.)

You may say work. What about people who don't have a consistent job or are temporarily jobless? What about small firms with most coworkers twice your age, or places people just come to do their work with little socialising?
I hear from people few do their primary socialising at work. The other thing is, some don't even go to voluntary classes or do volunteering, so where do they get reliable interactions?


I find it concerning after university, there seems to be no obligatory thing to attend where you automatically meet people around your age. It seems that after work, if you live on your own you would spend most of your free time alone. It does not seem most people feel very isolated, though, or that they are on their own a lot. So what do they do?

Also when meeting with friends, what do they usually do together? Just drinks daily would start to get boring, how do they find a way to socialise weekly or more often without it being based around talking? You probably only have so many news to tell someone, or topics to discuss? Just a question.
Another thing is, some people do not stay in touch with friends from school or university for different reasons (e.g. because of moving away), so again, how and where do they become part of a group of friends or how can they consistently meet new/larger groups of people?
It does not seem that people after university are automatically lonelier or less connected? (So where would you meet new people?)


Thank you for your advice. This is concerning me and there are only so many places to ask.
