I've been living in Pittsburgh for 4.5 years now. I moved here after college for a job. To say I've struggled would be an understatement. I'm isolated, depressed, and miserable. In that time I haven't made a single friend, not even an acquaintance, and have failed miserably at dating. I feel like I've tried all conventional wisdom when it comes to friends/dating and I'm at a loss. This is my last ditch effort before I just pack up and retry in another city. Any advice is appreciated.
- I signed up for PSL four times as a free agent but was never put on a team
- I volunteered with 412 Food Rescue and Humane Animal Rescue
- I tried bouldering classes but it wasn't for me
- I do yoga twice a week
- I've been on/off apps the entire time I've been here
- I tried Big Bother Big Sister but my kid quit the program and I never got matched with another
- Meetup was dead in my experience (admittedly haven't relooked in awhile)
- I tried a photography class
Probably a couple things I'm forgetting but that's the gist of it.
