I keep telling you that whether or not I'm alone won't change the people that are around me. I cannot find peers, with or without the presence of my parents it is that simple, I don't see them even when I go out to the sorts of places I have been told to go, why is this so hard to understand I've had to fight with people about this shit because they just refuse to believe that I'm telling the truth about this.
You don’t find peers because you dont try. You stay inside all day, and the rare times you do go out you keep your head down and leave as soon as you can.
When is the last time you went to a bar and hung out for more than an hour? When is the last time you talked to a shop owner about their store? Fucking NEVER.
I've gone to a bar twice in my life, both times with my parents, first time was pretty good and it seemed promising though I spent most of the time catching up with people I hadn't seen in a while, but the bar in question was locating inside of a gated community which I'm not part of and don't have any real connections in. The last time I went to a bar I hung around for about 4 hours with my parents and their friends and I was actively looking around at the crowds. I saw a couple cute girls(which is to say two that were both part of the same group) that I planned on approaching but they left before I got the chance. The whole area it was located in seemed far more and lively active than anything that's around here even if the specific bar I was in was mostly people in their 40-60 demographic. Probably would have better luck if I could find some place like that though hopefully one with a younger crowd. I've just never had the guidance in life to be able to find things like that.

What are you even talking about? What shops would I even be going to?
And in this time at the bar, did you make any attempt to have casual conversation with a stranger, where you did all of the talking yourself? "Planning on it" doesn't count. Did you actually make an attempt to talk with anyone that wasn't related to you?

You know how to use a search engine.

This is what normal people do. This is how normal people have conversations, and become more familiar and ingrained with their community, building a social network. I'm once again giving you guidance and you're refusing to do it. We’ve already talked about places you could go to converse with people.

At the first bar I ran into someone I hadn't seen since my early childhood, introduced myself to his friends and spent a bit of time catching up with him before heading back to my parents group, At second one I just stuck to my group my family's group and hung out with them since I didn't see anyone to approach besides the two that left before I got the chance(I was waiting for the bands to switch so there would be a quieter time to speak).

I don't know the search terms to use and my parents wouldn't approve of me going to a bar alone.

You're telling me to "go to shops and talk to the owners about them" like it's some sort of 50s sitcom where brick and mortar stores still serve a purpose and are staffed by knowledgeable owners.

Because you don’t try.
