How do I get involved with people who play the same games I do? I've been gaming since I was about 6-7 years old (i'm now 18) and I grew up playing on console. In 2014 I made the switch to a computer and never looked back.

I've always wanted a 'click' or a group of online friends who I can play with and talk to. I am diagnosed with social anxiety, so making new friends is really hard for me, however I want to take a step out of my comfort zone and make some online friends. I've had people I teamed up with etc. in the past, but it never developed into a bigger group of gamers.

What are some ways to meet new gamers?
