Is volunteering a good way to meet people? I only did it once a while back and ended up not really talking to anyone...

Aw, that sounds rough. Was he just trying to be playful and unaware of how much of an asshole he was being or was he actively malicious?

He used to do things on purpose, not always but probably to give me things to try "fix"
He used to fuck around with the local network & delete the scanner folder from the public computer so I'd have to go out & fix the folder & the directory. He probably also used to put all the hard computer jobs to the side & leave them for me to try & fix when I came in, even though he'd already know they were fucked etc.

Used to come to work & turn on the work laptop & all the icons would be moved to the right. I used to move them back to the previous location but never mentioned it.

Oh wow, what a dick. Sounds like the dude had some issues or some kinda vendetta against you. At least you don't have to deal with him anymore.

Yeah I've met lots of people through volunteering, however we only talk during the actual volunteering and not outside of it. Still it's nice to talk to them. The thing is that it's hard to even get volunteer positions nowadays, they all ask for a reference letter or some bullshit even though I'm literally working for free.

It's a very good way, in my experience. A lot of very nice, giving, forgiving people volunteer.You may not get a gf out of it since girls still like attractive men, but you're very likely to meet a group of people who accept you despite your flaws. As long as you're better than a smelly homeless man who thinks he's on the run from the government, you'll probably do alright with them.

anyone ever do big brother big sister or boys and girls club type stuff? i feel like it would be fun to redpill the shit out of little kids

>they all ask for a reference letter or some bullshit even though I'm literally working for free.
What for real? I'd understand if it was some specialized position but what's the point of filtering out so many people for free work? If they had qualifications they'd probably be doing the same work at a higher level and get paid.
>redpill them
From what I've read about mentoring opportunities, there's a lot of screening they do. There's like one or two interviews you have to do and then the actual person you'd be mentoring also gets a say in whether or not they want you. You also have to check in with the people you're volunteering for like once every 2 weeks or something. They'd probably find out if you were doing any fucky shit.

Volunteered at my local church for a couple of months. Nothing major. I kept to myself and was courteous to everyone. Boomers seemed to really like me more than the people my age. One old lady there even tried to set me up with her jailbait granddaughter, who was 15. I was 19 at the time and she saw nothing wrong with that.

There was also a Stacy my age there, beautiful blonde girl with bright green eyes, really prim and proper and came from a wealthy family. She treated me like shit. Got pissed at me for no reason if I didn't look busy all the time. Told the other girls in the church I was creepy. That's why I had to leave.

>She treated me like shit
I fucking hate people that act like pieces of shit in places of worship. I've run into my fair share of bitchy religious chicks and it just boggles my mind how they can claim to be adherents of some religion while acting like such massive cunts. Really sucks that that happened to you man. How long ago was this?

About 3 or 4 years ago now. I didn't mind her bitching at me though. She was really pretty. I just stood there and took all her insults. Most of the time I didn't even listen to what she was saying, just stared at her boobs

lel, props on the good attitude then. I'd be fucking steaming if someone acted that way to me so kudos to you.

>Most of the time I didn't even listen to what she was saying, just stared at her boobs
>wonders why she called him a creep
you're both probably shitty people desu

>be neet
>job centre forces me to work at sports club
>have to cut grass and pick litter for a month
>meet no one but chavs and stoners
>volunteer with wildlife conservation organisation
>meet no one but old people and few school kids on work experience

Got me out the house at least

I was thinking about volunteering at some sort of crises center over the summer. Preferably a suicide hotline but others would be fine as well. I couldn't really find anything for suicide hotlines but I did find some openings for child abuse, runaways, dealing with cheating, etc. There's like a 40 hour training thing they make you do as well, idk. I think about this stuff all the time and am depressed so I figured it'd be good to deal with similar stuff irl and possibly help others. Would also probably lvl up my speaking skills.
Any of you guys tried it?

sounds bleak lad, that's what I'm afraid of too. You still volunteer?

Mah mate. Just had to prove I'm not a feckless cumshedder. Ended up doing 3 back to work shortcourses and some cv writing courses after volunteering, didn't complain at least I had a reason to get up

what do ya do now laddie?

Yeah, I'm doing it right now and I've met quite a lot of people. But if you're socially avoidant then it won't change much
