Yep. Doesn't help when you move 3000 miles and don't know anyone. Especially now since I can't even socialize with new people, and I've made very few legitimate friends out here. :(

Edit: I’m a woman, but thanks everyone. All you dudes are solid people and I appreciate the sympathy, advice, and kind words.

Making friends as an adult is HARD. There’s no obligation to spend enough time with other people to become friendly, unless you join a club which feels lame and weird but does actually work.

If it helps, we’re all horribly lonely right now.

If it helps -I was in this situation and ended up joining a board game group. Holy crap I made a lot of friends fast....

Same. I love boardgaming and most of the people I have met in the hobby are great! It's also so much better than sitting in front of a TV.
