How do you make friends in adulthood?

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)

Dont know what to do. SAHM wanting to leave husband

Wanting to leave husband and take my kids with me across state lines to live with family. Have never really had a job. Every time I tried to get one he would quit talking to me until I left the job. Always told me he was the provider and I was a stay at home mom. But now its getting bad between us. He gets jealous of our kids getting to spend time with me, he has mood swings like no other. He is very back and forth on everything making it unstable for the kids. There is so much more, but I feel stuck because of having no job or way to support my kids. Let alone a lawyer that costs $6,000. Any advice or suggestions hoping would be helpful.

Looking for friends to text, snap, call, or facetime

Its really hard to find friends in my area so I am looking for online friends that truly want to be friends. Who want to hang out from the comfort of our own homes but FaceTime with me while I clean my house, cook dinner or sit on my porch+

Humble brag

What’s your humble brag? Something that you don’t sing about often, but people sometimes notice about you and then you are like… damn. I did that !
