where are the social links?

[Watermill]

do they just show up on the map eventually or do i need to go find them and speak to them first? i keep seeing on the online board that people "Spent time with ???" on the same days as me which makes me think im missing out on a link

No idea how far in you are but you can't do them until you clear the cathedral, and even then a good amount of them are locked behind sidequests, party members included.

for any you have unlocked: pressing left on the pad and seeing the red handshake is a sign of one you can do, grey means you could if you met the requirement (your personality stats need to be hire)

any ??? is either story related, or side quest related, so be sure to do those.

they should be black handshakes on the map, once they are unlocked, if they are currently willing to social link, if i remember right

if you mean the quest: yeah they'll be on the map the moment they exist, just scan the map in towns every new story arc.

Can also be you're in the wrong location - some links can only be done while travelling on the Runner for example.

If you are in the wrong location there won't be a grey bond icon. Those only appear if you are currently capable of visiting their location. So if you aren't on a trip with the Runner even if you do have a rank up available there, it wont show a grey icon.
