My New Years resolution is to make some friends!!

[avoschmado]

For one reason or another I've lost lots of friends Over the years. I had my children and got married young whilst they're just starting now doing all of that so I found myself rather isolated having gone down a different path.

Anyway! It's my new goal to get out more, make some good friends and have more of a social life. Don't get me wrong, I'm not lonely per se as I have dh, two lovely little girls, my parents and work colleagues but I'd love a few proper girlfriends iykwim. Someone to gossip with, go for coffees, a shop etc.

I'm 30 and I like to think I'm quite fun! Just a bit shy. Anyone else in my boat?!

I'm the same DH and two girls also but working P/T in the family Business so don't meet anyone.

I'm 37

Same

Yay!

Me too!

Ah so lovely to hear - I mean not that you're in the same boat but you know! What are your plans for tonight? I hate NYE. So much hype and an expensive anticlimax I think so just a quiet one in with a dvd and Prosecco here.

Same here. I'm 28 with not many friends so looki g to meet new people

Yes me too, it's hard though. I separated from my ex back in May, so I have my family but no real friends as he isolated me from them years ago.

In tonight my girls are in bed so a takeaway and Tv night for me and my DH

Me too. I’m 27 and looking to make new friends

Where abouts are you from op?

Im 29 and exactly the same yet i dont have much family either.shame there isn't some sort of group on here!

I'm the same. I actually used to want to be alone a lot of the time, so I got what I wanted I guess. I have one really good friend but she lives in another city, we message everyday though. But I've no real friends in my area. Going to work on new friends in 2019.

Try meetup.com!

Platonic groups arranged by interest although some are purely social

Same here! Lost loads of my friends over the years and now I’m 30 and realise I don’t have many at all I’m okay about it as I’m always so busy and like my own company but I would still like to have more of a social life!
Happy NY everyone!

Me me! I live abroad so it can be hard to make friends.

I have friends actually but it’s hard to meet up when you could travel an hour and a half to see each other so people drift easily.

I’n 30 too. Divorced. Got married young. Ex husband was abusive and controlling so i was cut off from almost everyone.

I’d like to make some good friends this year too! Not much on meet-up for me in my area but hoping to find other ways. I’ve got a lot of hobbies and some friends but not many really close ones. Good luck everyone!

Join a good community choir. (Not necessarily one that requires auditions) My choir really look out for each other and are an amazing friendship group. Good luck

Me ☺️ I’ll be 30 next week, no kids (apart from my fur baby). All my friends in RL are married with kids etc.

Me too.

I'm 24 and looking for new friends. All mine have slowly drifted away. I miss having a close friend to confide in.

Oh I’m the same. Nearly 30 and due to moving a lot with DH’s job, we’ve ended up far from friends.

We do have lovely friends dotted around the world, but would love a network locally, particularly as we aren’t near family. DH has joked we should have a kid to help us make friends

South West here

yah I’m in the same, moved a lot and now friends scattered everywhere.

East Mids here

me too

In exactly the same boat. Stopped speaking to my best friend this year as she was utterly toxic. Decided not to dedicate any time to people who don't bring me any happiness. Got a couple of friends but missing a good one. Also been getting bullied at work for the past year (worked there for 10 years!) and no longer as close to the workmates that I had been due to it.

Try not to dwell on it too much but feel a bit lonely
