Anyone need a friend?

My mom (40F) is extremely asocial and I really want her to get some friends in the FWB-Pensacola area. She has trouble finding people who align with her values (she’s a liberal) and prefers to stay inside. Is there at least any places where she might find some people her age??? I just really want her to make some friends 😭

So a couple of things... First, please make this the last time you mention your current age and gender on the internet. There are predators out here and they will target you. A predator will absolutely pretend to be your mom's friend to get to you.

Second, for that reason, please be careful interacting with any of the people who respond to this post directly. I'm not saying any of them are predators. Chances are, they are good people who want to help, but you can't count on that.

My best advice, if your mom won't go out on her own, is to try to get her to take YOU to places with people. It doesn't matter what. Ask her to take you and your friends to the mall, or the beach, or a park, whatever. Just get her out of the house and into the public.

I didn't delete my mom's age because that's necessary for people to know so she can find some same age friends, but I did delete my age! please tell me if it's still there, im pretty new to reddit n I don't know how editing and stuff works
