Making friends in your 30s and beyond

Making friends in your 30s and beyond

Hi everyone i was wondering if anyine would have some tips on how to make friends when you are over 30 and shy. Iv been a part of lot of friendship groups depending on who i was dating. Iv always been the one to end my relationships and have always lost my couple friends in the process. I met my husband and we married fairly quickly. He was new in town though and knows no one. I havent lived here very long and was ditched by the friends i had made with my ex. Im feeling really lonely a lot of the time and almost defeated. Its like people only like my partners and not me 😢 im in my mid 30s with a child. I am getting more introverted as the years pass and have no interests or hobbies

Hi @Princessmolly

Just had another thought. If there is a second hand shop, like, Opportunity Shop, they often are short of volunteers. Just a thought.

Would be a way of meeting all sorts of people. 😉

That's a stirling post @3Spuds. A fabulously down to earth, positive contribution to our forums.
Sorry it's been so long before I read this thread. How you trucking? 😀
