Perspective requested:Anyone
I moved for work six months ago. Coworkers are nice but not really friends. I’ve tried a couple meetups and everyone already seemed to know someone.
I’m not lonely every second, but weekends can feel huge and empty. I forgot how much easier friendship was when school basically handed you people.

I know everyone says join clubs, but honestly I found that advice kind of useless until I became a regular somewhere. Same coffee shop, same gym class, same trivia night. Repetition did more than “putting myself out there.”

Making friends after moving took me about a year, not six weeks like I expected. Repetition helped more than chemistry.

Making friends after moving is so humbling lol. I thought I was social until I had to build a life from zero. It took me like a year before anything felt natural.
