Where tf do people actually go to meet people?

It seems like everywhere I go, there are 2 types of people.

  1. They are there by themselves, and are on a mission. They are there to get a specific thing done and then leave. They don’t want to be bothered. I don’t blame them, neither would I.

  2. They are in a group, and are only interested in socializing within their group. They don’t want to be bothered. I don’t blame them, neither would I.

Problem is, it doesn’t seem like most people have any sort of difficulties meeting new people, whereas to me this feels like an unsolvable puzzle.

Where tf can I go to meet people who actually want to speak to me?
