Idk I wish I could tell you… finding friends as an adult is hard as fuck … i haven’t been successful lol
Wish I had an answer for you finding friends that aren't related or not children just adults it's hard as fuck
It takes time for me to develop friendships. I’m an extrovert and it’s quite easy for me to make interact and engage with others adequately but it takes me time to let people in. I recently moved to the area that I live in and immediately enrolled myself into mom clubs, mommy and me classes and various other groups but I’m just now kinda getting a friend that I am feeling a bit okay to invite over to my place alone . I’ve met several women over the course of the several months that I’ve lived here since last march. And many of them I see frequently and I’d be okay to invite them to an event if I were having one but for me friends like true friends are on a different level and that takes time to develop. But I do think that the first step would be to put yourself out there as in get out to meet people whether that be by what’s been suggested or via other methods . If you’re not around people then you’re more than likely not going to meet people and I mean meeting people in real life
And not online. The key I think is to consistently get out there.
Honestly? All 3 top options. I’ve met maybe 30 mums at the mothers groups and only zoomed in on 2 of them that I thought I could befriend and we’re still friends to this day. Club…is a hobby join a hobby, she might not be in the exact same stage of life but a cool friend to have regardless to catch up here and there and someone to chat to when you do go to your hobby group. I’ve made friends w lots of single women, some men, and some mums at my hobby group and it’s not awkward when I go and have people to say hi to. On here..,I’ve been on here nearly 3yrs and in that time have met on meetups, 14 mums. Half of them was just that one meet, didn’t vibe. The other couple I chat and see every couple months and there’s 3/4 that I have a snap streak with and see more often. I’ve made friends doing all the top 3 poll options but I also don’t have any social anxiety so we if we get talking on the phone a day later I’m willing to meet the next day, I’m not one to need to “get to know you”.
i’m asking the same question
All of the above and be open. You don't always need to have something in common to like someone. In my life I have got great friendships with people who are very different from me.
It’s not easy tbh… I haven’t really made any new friends since having my LO (3 now) but im lucky some of my childhood friends have kids of the same age. I struggle to trust people and feel like when you have a family friendships are harder to maintain. When I was a single parent and lots of my friends were single it was easy. We did everything together but now they have married and got kids it’s just not the same. My partner is my friend (bork haha) but it does get lonely sometimes when I wanna talk to someone about my problems but I just accept it’s the way it is. Maybe when my kids are older and I have more free time I’ll have time for my friends again. At the moment I’m in my family era 🤣 xx
I met a bunch of ladies when my son was born but we don’t have much in common and I feel us drifting apart. My boy is now 1 and I just feel like I don’t have any friends. Uni friends were nasty women I stopped seeing, people at work don’t socialise, and I don’t seem to meet people who have similar interests to me. How do we make decent friends as adults with zero time on our hands?!
