I’ve been trying to meet new friends and new people to hang out with so have been going to a lot of social events.

I noticed that everyone seems to ask for my instagram account and when I say I don’t have one that connection kind of dies, and it feels too personal to ask for someone number when I just met them.

I don’t want to create an instagram because of the privacy invasions of meta but I also don’t want to feel left out when trying to make new connections. Anyone have any advice?

    I would just make an IG account if it’s being a large obstacle, you probably don’t have to install the app as you can do most things through the web browser.

      Never install an app like Instagram on your phone, It will know your device even if you uninstall the app or use a different IP.
