If you show up to the same activity week after week, you will make friends, or at least social connections. My two current weekly hobbies are sewing class on Monday and volunteering at the cat shelter on Saturday. And if any of your old friends are in the area, hit them up! This girl who was my friend in 9th grade sent me a message on facebook asking me if I wanted to hang out when we hadn't seen each other in like 15 years, and we rekindled out friendship.

Also yeah, this has been a common theme in my adult life. Just be open to whatever feels right

Go to the gym at the same time every day and workout. Ask the people who you see that are also there everyday about whatever exercise they happen to be doing and they will talk your goddamn ear off

Start drinking alone. Like, a lot, and all the time, and preferably in a dark basement while you do nothing but play MMOs. Then, when you can't pull up out of your crippling drinking problem by yourself any more, you can go to AA meetings! That's the kind of place where you walk in the front door and everyone is your friend. No matter where in the world you go, you have a whole friend network set up.

About 6 years ago I got into a fight with my ex-boyfriend, I went to the bar across the street to cool off and asked a guy sitting alone if I could bum a light, he said sure and started up a conversation, said his friends were coming soon and I should stick around and hang out with them. Well, all of those guys are my closest friends in the entire world, one of them is my bestest friend that I text with almost daily and pretty much see every week. Oh, and I've been married to another one of them for over two years. So what I am saying is start smoking, it makes you look cool.

All I am going to say is being in your 30s, looking for social contacts, you better drat well be prepared and open-minded to wives (not just girlfriends) and kids being involved in the equation. I mean you can shoot the poo poo about Marvel and Call of Duty and the like but their (key word "their") schedule is based around their family. I made friends in my 30s at work and family contacts and, yeah, be prepared and be willing to learn a lot about family life more-so than what Blizzard is releasing this year.

It's really hard OP. The strat here is you need to find a superconnector - someone who knows a lot of other people, even/especially if its someone you don't have a lot in common with or don't necessarily gel really well. If they can find you, they can find your pals. Once you know that person just go to every party they throw, have genuine conversations with people, make plans with them waaaay in advance and don't reneg on them, find a periodic ritual for hanging out and you're golden, that's friends baby. It's hard but not impossible if you don't self-sabotage because of your fear of rejection/self-hatred. To find the superconnector, yeah, hobbies, as well as friends-of-friends, coworkers, special interest groups, or even random cultural events. chaosbreather fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Sep 17, 2021 |
