wondering why i dont have a huge queer friend group and then i remembered that the queer people at my college were the most exclusive and cliquey group ever… how do i find queer friends that are actually open and supportive, cuz i feel so alone rn

i haven’t been able to find any queer people that weren’t exclusive/cliquey. i don’t feel comfortable being out around the cishet people in my city either… so i feel very lonely and “in the middle”

this is why i don’t really seek out “queer friends” as an adult, in my teen years it was so cliquey and since i didn’t have social media at the time (strict parents) i was always out of the loop or the “weird kid”

Honestly I don’t know how I did it, but after 3 years in college I finally have a queer friend group, after experiencing all of the cliques and all that. If you’re gender queer, I will say that you will make much better friends with other gender queer people fs. Other than that it’s basically the same as making other friends; go to social events for hobbies or other things that interest you, talk to ppl in your community however you can, queer people tend to just gravitate to each other eventu

Honestly if you’re in America rn, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to connect with your community by organizing with local citizen defense groups (I’ve made a lot of queer friends from going to protests)
