… Or useful. Because I entered badoo and it ask for an expensive fee just to talk with anyone.

    No interesting hobbies? Have you been to interesting places? If no, do you want to change that? I know, it sounds boring to go alone, but it usually isn’t.

      No and no. There’s nothing I’m interested or interesting here anyways and I can’t move out since I don’t have money.

        Let me give you a different perspective, actually. It doesn’t matter as much that you do interesting things. What matters more is you manage to be funny and appear laid back enough that people won’t be put off. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned anything in my profile that was a genuine interest. I answer any question as a joke, any time I send an opening message I try to make it a joke I find funny, and that usually works.

        Remember: those apps are banking on you staying on the app and spending money on Longer you’re there, the more likely they can get you to spend some money. Their business isn’t to successfully get you off the app. It’s to keep you on. So before you ever get too discouraged and down on yourself, remember that you’re working upstream against a soulless corporation.

          I’m not a funny person unfortunately. And I don’t see that fact changing, is my nature. I’m serious and don’t laugh at jokes that often.

        So you spend your entire day either working/studying or staring at a blank wall?

        Btw, it doesn’t really matter if you do something actually interesting, it’s the attitude that counts. I’ve tried doing the same thing/going to the same event with different people, some very positive and outgoing, and some very negative, and the experience has been very very different.

        If your attitude is “I’m not interesting, and I don’t do anything interesting” then guess what, you won’t be interesting to anyone around you. Btw, going to the pub for a beer can be very interesting. Walking somewhere can be interesting.

          Then what am I supposed to do? Every time I go to walk alone or eat alone guess what I feel worse than being in my room. And it’s been for year now. Trust me when I’m telling you this: is not Interesting.

            Then you need some friends. On the how to acquire one, there are a few ways. One of the most effective outside of school or work is to join some club, some class or some sport activity. For instance, I joined a latin dance class lately (salsa, bachata) and I’ve met lots of very friendly people. Every Friday they also organize a night out to some local clubs to dance, and there you can meet lots of other people with a similar interest. It’s just an example though, pick something interesting, join a group of people etc.

            You just need to be proactive. Staying all day in your room commiserating yourself is definitely not sexy
