I am looking for ideas on how to meet new people so I can make new friends.
Right now I don’t really have any friends and I haven’t really had any in years. One woman was interesting being my friend but she wanted daily contact and that was just too much for me to handle, not just because of PTSD, but because sometimes I’m just too busy.
I broke things off with my ex in September so I haven’t had his company (even though it was a bad situation, it was still human contact).
I have my mom, but I’m somewhat estranged from the rest of my family.
I have regular contact with others in the community and through my work, but they are just acquaintances I’m friendly with. I mention this as to say I’m not completely isolated from all human contact, rather I just don’t have anyone whom is consider a friend.
And no I don’t want to date, lol. My therapist has suggested I try online dating but with the advent of the app, that activity has taken a nosedive in terms of being able to meet a quality someone, well not like it was awesomely to begin with, but you get my point. At least before, more people read profiles. Now it’s just look at a picture and swipe. But, I digress.
So yeah, I need to make new friends.
