Notions of Making Friends

Would you like to share notions about making friends?

I think that making friends is a quite a goal for me, right now. How about you?

The few close friends I have are pretty busy these days raising families and full time jobs. But I get a good portion of social interaction at work and this fills the void. I don’t really have the energy for much more, but this could maybe change in the future.

I think that these are all good points, “Mr.” In my experience, most males in the US (who aren’t financially rich) either:

Or have a “work family.”

Going back to work has been a blessing. It’s so good to get out and be around people. I spent three years at home and didn’t meet anyone new. I am good at making friends but just didn’t leave the house. Now I work in food service on slow days so the majority of my shift is talking to people. It’s awesome. I’m now the old guy at work so I’m a listener and advice giver.

My best friend I actually met on this forum. We started messaging and found out we lived thirty mins away from each other. What are the odds?! We have talked every day, all day for two years.

Sounds awesome.

Take up a hobby that interests you. Join a related group with others who do the same. Do things together.

Yesssss…

I think there is a Chess club in my town that I’ve been thinking about occasionally.

Thanks for the reminder. :slight_smile:

I haven’t been able to make friends as such.

I have Facebook friends but not irl friends or friends to chat with.

I joined a penpal site but when they find out i don’t work they ghost me.

I think that’s basically my current friend situation, if you don’t count extended family.

Thanks.
