...See more Hi! I always joke about this, but it really is true. WHEN DID IT GET SO HARD TO MAKE FRIENDS!? When I was younger (high school - young twenties) I had an abundence of friends or people to hang out with. There was never a reason for me to be bored. Honestly, I think I spend more time outside of my apartment on any given day than I did being home. I know that as we get older and settle down the number of friends starts to deminition. I expected the friends I had who partied all of the time would separate. I also knew I would lose a few when I came out all those years ago. The thing that gets me is looking at the situation now. * So here I am encroching on 30, married, back in school for my masters, and working for a govenment agency searching for friends. I like to think that I am a pretty neat person to hang out (maybe not since I just used neat), but it has been the hardest trying to find new people to chat/be friends with. I have tried finding friends at work, but I am significantly younger than most of the people I work with. I can't tell you the last time I went to a pub and met some random person (not that it even interests me at this point in my life). I also tried finding people in some hobby groups online, but I feel like the only thing we have in common is the said hobby. * So my question is how have most of you met new friends later in life? Is there some trick I haven't learned yet?
