Will try to keep this short.

Was homeless during the years 2019-2022.

Didn't really know what to do with life so parents kicked me out of the house after dropping out of college and working shitty part time jobs at 24. So lived in a 1999 nissan pathfinder for those 3 years doing literally nothing but working at wendys and blowing my money on shit fast food and a net cafe to play video games. Eventually I started pulling myself together and started a business doing something I was always good at fixing computers and video game consoles. Now 29 about to be 30. Only have about $1000 saved but now have a place to live and a car that I own thats in actual good condition and actual cash flow of orders and stability. Last year my business profited after taxes about $20k so i'm not breaking the bank but for an entirely work from home, online business I'll take it over being a janitor for a movie theater, having to clean the jizz out of the seats of teenagers watching screamV...

I've been working out, I've been trying to think more critically about my future, but I also would like to start thinking about potentially speaking with people again.

Something I noticed during my "off" years was that I might've spent the past half decade not talking to anyone... Its really weird to think of it like that since my mind is so active all of the time but i've been trying to talk more to the cashiers and random people i might come across (to their detriment lmao sorry) but where do I go from here. I don't smoke. I don't drink. I mainly play basketball which means the park I go to is full of dudes hooping. Now how do I find women to talk to... I see in the sub alot of stuff like "cold approach" but that just seems out of my realm at the moment. What is the step before that? Like mentioned before I work from home entirely online and it's not weird for me to spend a solid week in the house with only time going out is to go grocery shopping... do I "cold approach" the random lady at whole foods or something???

Damn I guess my entire question basically bogs down to where are the women at???

Is that it lmao??? Like I'm past the:

self hep and fix mental

make money and stability

work out and invest in your future

practice approaching people and be ok with conversations becoming awkward just put yourself out there...

but like... now what?!?!?!
