Find a local group of cosplayers
Finding cosplayers is easy, especially if you’re already part of a social group. Most large urban areas have a few volunteer and children’s charities groups that are comprised of cosplayers. Make some friends while helping out your community.
You can look for local cosplay groups on Facebook or Instagram (you might want to search for “[city] cosplay” plus “cosplayers”).
If your friends aren’t into it or if you don’t know any other people who are into it yet, try looking up some hashtags related to the kind of character you’d like to portray. For example “#marvel”, “#avengers”, or even simply “[character name]”. If there are other people posting photos under these tags then there must be a community nearby!
