Do You Have A Gang Of Friends That You DoLoads With?

[BunnyLover7]

One of my Facebook friends, late 40s, frequently puts lots of photos up of a biggish group & they seem to be out all over the place. Gigs, festivals, pub nights etc. I am late 50s. Used to be in a really big group of friends years ago but we gradually went our separate ways, although I still see a few folks. I think it can often start at University & I never went, which I sometimes regret. Having said that, I don’t know how my FB friend’s group met each other. The latest posting was photos of one of the group’s husband’s birthday weekend & they had an absolute blast by the look of it. Think I’m just feeling a bit sad & envious, although I have some very good friends. Want to inject a bit more fun! Having said that, I’m already writing down ideas for my 60th which is a few months away. My 50th ended up a disaster so I’m determined to mark this occasion in style!

I’m in my mid 40s and I have a big group of friends and will do festivals and celebrate birthdays together. I have other friends (outside of this group) that think this is quite unique but it’s the norm for us. The reason it works so well is there are a few natural organisers (I’m not one of them) and everyone else goes along with it.

That’s great that you have some good friends, could you try organise some fun things to do with them?

I hope you have a great 60th🥳

I’m late fifties. We have three other couples that we’re really great friends with. Holidays, trips, getting together for special times and celebrations.

I had a group of friends like that in my late teens and through my 20s, but, as careers progressed and mostly for the reason that many of us became parents, we didn't get to see each other much.

If you looked at those that put photos on FB now, you might perceive the same, as we have started catching up now the dc are grown, and do tend to get together to celebrate significant birthdays.
We don't do that much together, but obviously there comes a series of significant birthdays every 10 years or so.

No - I sort of exist on the edge of a few groups like this, and do things with them occasionally.

It suits me well - I don’t want to hang out with the same people all the time. It seems very intense.

I like to have different friends from different places and with different things in common.

Just few years ago I used to be very sociable going out partying, concerts even some specific music clubs. Now I don’t go out anymore. Life has become super mundane for me which it’s so sad. So if anybody fancies a chat, do drop me a line. Always happy to get to know new people.

I’m very social, but I don’t. I tend to hang out with friends individually and they don’t really know each other
