Anyone else drifted away from their friends? All my friends have other friends and don't bother with me anymore. How can I make new friends as a 28 year old woman ?? I also WFH so don't get out the house much to meet new people /:

I’m exactly the same as the majority of you. I think it’s even harder as an adult in this digital age. There’s no doing things anymore, just virtually doing things lol.

I usually find that all my acquaintances already have a group of friends and aren’t bothered about having another. Maybe I should just take the hint…

Thank you :)
I’m no expert. And I didn’t even realise how important socialising is to me, not for along time. I never go out there thinking oh, I must make friends. I’m genuinely interested in other people.
I’m actually really happy being on my own.

I don’t overthink it. I’ll just chat. I told a neighbour I’m veggie, we were talking about vegetables that still taste like vegetables. Random, I know. He’s got an allotment and came round with some surplus produce. I cooked, took some over to him. Then I saw him at the theatre and at interval he came with a glass of wine for me. We chatted, some other people who knew him joined in, chatted some more. I went to theatre on my own!

People are looking for connections. We’re not meant to be lonely, I don’t think. Equally, it doesn’t have to be an intense, all baring experience.

I have joined meetup and going for drinks or hike with them. At the moment no close friend but maybe I meet somebody with time.
