>> Doing hobbies that involve other people

This is something that doesn't really work for me. I've made a few friends through some hobbies (and we're still friends even though we don't participate in them anymore), but I think the problem is I'm not as into the hobbies as much as the other people are.

I don't want to hang out with anyone at my gym. A lot of the ____ club people are _obsessed_ with that particular thing. I have other interests than that one thing.

I find the key is being easy to talk to, and finding people who are easy to talk to.

What does that look like in practice?
