Time to make new friends?

I’m finding that since the pandemic started most of my friends don’t want to meet anymore. It’s not just me it’s happening to, a lot of them have cut themselves off from people and just stick to their partner or immediate families and don’t see friends. I know some people are still cautious with covid - one friend is petrified. Is it best to move on and make new friends? I miss being able to do things and chat with friends.

I’ve had the exact same issue. I’ve resolved to get out and join clubs and make new friends

Sounds like it OP. Friendship should be a two way thing and it sounds like these people have checked out

Nothing stopping you from making new friendships with people you can meet up with. You don't need to cut off the relationships with your existing friendship entirely.

I think that’s a good idea as they have mental health issues as some people have developed them during the pandemic and it may take a while for them to feel safe.

Quite a few people have developed health anxiety and Covid cultism. Time to find new friends.
