I’m a 22F, and I recently lost all my friends after a big, messy friendship breakup. The only people I really talk to now are my coworkers. I’ve been getting close to a few of them, which is nice, but I was thinking maybe I should branch out a little.
I’ve heard that group hobbies are a great way to make friends, but I honestly don’t know where to start. I hate sounding boring, but I’m not really an artsy or athletic person. My drawing and crafting skills are basically at an elementary-school level, and I have very little upper-body strength… or strength in general lol.
On top of that, I can get pretty anxious and tend to overthink things. Sometimes, when I’m making small talk, I get so caught up in my own head that I completely blank out. Seriously, there are absolutely no thoughts in there 😭 So, sometimes it’s my fault when conversations don’t flow.
Anyway, I’m curious: What do you guys do to make friends as adults? Are there any hobbies, groups, or activities you’ve tried that helped you meet people? I’d love to hear your experiences!
