I had no trouble making friends in high school, yet I struggled in college and struggle to find friends (that I don't work with) as an adult. Am I just too intimidated to talk to new people? Does anyone here feel the same? (Is that why we're all here?)

Still figuring that out

Before having kids the only friends I had were coworkers lol. Now that I have kids I use going to the park to possibly find a friend. One simple thing could lead to a whole conversation which could turn into multiple park dates. Literally you could compliment someone about anything (tattoos, outfits, accessories, etc) it definitely takes a lot longer than in school tho

A hobby helps me. They’re not all mums, just women working and enjoying life but it’s nice to be part of a community and feel a belonging. Do you go to any hobby? Do you want to? Look around and see what you can join. Gym, fitness or dance classes. The Zumba community is huge. So is the SBK salsa bachata kizomba community. My Hubbys part of the bowling/poker/golf community. He makes friends there. Mum groups during the day helps me make mum friends. I met my bestie at a mothers group (and one on here)

Ditto, girlfriend. Ditto.

When I find the answer to that billion dollar question, I will be sure to let you know!
