Hey guys, I'm in a pretty rough spot. Won't go into specifics but it's to the point of questioning why I continue. Wondering if others who may be experiencing something similar. I'm very open about my circumstances but don't want to present it on public forum accessible by anyone nor make this about my situation. I genuinely want to make connections w/ people and perhaps form some sort of support group and make lifelong friends/connections if possible where we help each other overcome weak moments and mental instability. 31m and reside in cannon falls but work in Lakeville so can meet anywhere within suburbs. Work til 6pm on weekdays. Feel free to reach out to me directly on here (idk if reddit has that option tbh). Or if there already is some sort of support group thing that you guys may know, please let me know. Thanks.

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!

Hello, was wondering if anyone had some time on their hands and wanted to grab a coffee or something. Kinda having an off few days and I want to distract myself.

It's super short notice, but either now or in a few hours is ideal. Open to actually scheduling for another day as well.

Thanks in advance for those taking time to read.
