Friends Poll

Any advice how find freinds after 40

Lately I’ve been investigating into meetup.com

I haven’t found any groups I like but maybe there will be something for you.

I’m a little shy of 27 and it’s really tough for me to find friends!! So 40+ is probably even tougher.

But I’m thinking of starting a group on meetup.com for people who use electronic cigarettes.

Maybe I can meet some vapers and we can go for a hike in the woods and smoke our e-cigs. But that might be a lame idea. Who knows though.

My mum makes friends every where she goes

Maybe since she has friends already she has a higher self-esteem which makes it easier for her to make new friends. It’s cyclical. I’m good at making convo with strangers but not good at making friends. I make people laugh, make people intrigued, etc… I’m very social. But it never leads to a friendship. But the fact that your mom has tons of friends already there’s less pressure on her when trying to make friends so it’s easier for her. I think the illness set me back socially for a long time and now I’m at a disadvantage because don’t have many friends, even though I have a lot to offer intellectually and comedic-wise…these days.

Very wise words goyankees
Hadn’t thought of it that way

take on some hobbies/classes / volunteer / and talk to everybody you meet

I don’t have friends I hang out with and probably wouldn’t want any because I’m introverted. I do talk to people I see at the gym a lot though. (Which is mostly guys)
