It can be scary at first especially if you don't have much in common, but worth it! I got to play pool volleyball with mine last night it was fun

So many options!

I moved to a new city during covid and times were tough here for a while, but this is what worked for me: - befriending your coworkers (sometimes they’re really cool and will become your bff, most of them time they’re fine to occasionally hang w) -being a regular at a coffee shop, bar, or concert/show venue (hit up the familiar faces and they’re likely to introduce you to their crew as well) -bumble bff (kind of the worst but also fun- I met a few of my close friends on here who then introduced me to their friend groups. Mostly great interactions but be weary of some ppl trying to use it as a sly dating tool) -get involved in the community! i host a book club and I play soccer on a local rec team. I’ve met so many people that I would’ve probably never encountered otherwise through Bookclub- don’t be afraid of multigenerational friendships! With soccer, I’ve met such a diverse crowd and it’s encouraged me to attempt to learn Spanish. It’s nice to be able to get a group of ppl together and play/practice when you all have a night free, or go and watch a game! If you’re sporty, you can also invite your new sporty pals out for runs, hikes, or other workout type activities!

moving into community with strangers

almost 2 years ago i sublet an apartment from a loose mutual who was traveling for 6 weeks. i knew his community was pretty tight knit, all the neighbors knew each other and had established relationships and would potluck together on a regular basis. i am an og room kid ™️ and was really intimidated about living in such close proximity/community to other people. what if i didn’t make friends?? what if i DID make friends?? both were scary prospects to me. but at the time a major goal for me was to stop thinking of myself as such a loner and to invest more in the skills and attitudes that build a sense of trust in community. it was one of the best decisions i’ve made in adulthood and led me to some of my closest friends, a more permanent housing situation next door to the original sublet, as well as some real challenges that are helping me grow as a person. the initial risk put me way outside my comfort zone and as a result i’m now more comfortable in more zones!

common interest & planning

It could be someone from work, or someone you met at a party, or someone you know from a place you go a lot — but making a connection and following up with them to hang out! I’ve been freaked of this before, but have tried to reach out to people more & most of the time it’s been a positive thing. It’s helpful for me to find a common interest like if we talk about a movie that’s coming out or a hobby we both like, to invite them into that!
