just to help each other with "young people stuff"

Re: under 30s thread

I know what you mean @outlander . I'm in a relationship and am lucky to have a super supportive bf but I find it hard to maintain my friendships and often feel very mentally drained

Re: under 30s thread

Thats ok @outlander 🙂

Have you heard of meetup.com btw? Good way to meet new people. I used it in the past because there are many different groups on it. Friends happen organically and so does romance.
Thats how i got my first kiss a month or two ago. Mutual friends. Weird old thing.

Hey @melbournegirl hows it going?

Re: under 30s thread

im glad youve got a supportive bf @melbournegirl its tough trying to find good people isnt. mental health takes it toll on us and trying to maintain friendships are hard work to esp when you have so much going on in your own mind

i have heard of meetup @MDT but havent used it yet. im trying to find some art groups. ive advertised all over fb for local groups and not one person has commented! apparently theres nothing going on around where i live for art stuff, i even asked for private tutors even to just better my art but none of those either! might have to see about another interest group somehow- hard to do again wiht no interest or motivation.

Re: under 30s thread

It can be very hard yeah @outlander

People can be very harsh and judgey. My sister held her 18th a few years back and no one came. Was the worst thing ever. I still get sad by it because she didnt deserve it. But i learned that persevering is most important. I think its a lesson for romance/relationships as well. Especially as we get older. I feel like sometimes i will never ever get a gf then other times i feel like it will happen one day but its just a case of getting my life on track. Its hard when our interests lie elsewhere from the majority of people though.

Re: under 30s thread

mental health is funny that way @MDT sometimes we feel we can get througb it other times we think we cant. we just have to take the good with the bad and keep going hey.

i hope things fall into place for you too soon.

Re: under 30s thread

Well yeah.. it ebs and flows i always say @outlander
In this day and age its not uncommon to get married or meet a special someone later in life. We are still young and have time. So long as we take steps in the right direction i would say.
I think they will fall into place for the both of us soon. We are getting help and doing what we need to despite all else.
Plus you are cool and cute haha, you'll find a dude one day 🙂

Re: under 30s thread

lol sorry @outlander 😂

its also commonplace to divorce many times in life as well it seems.. people are no longer happy in love.. i think people view each other as means to an end these days. Kinda sad when you think of it 😔
