Life outside work
Don't think I'm alone here but I have found now being a professional in my field of IT I have lost touch with most of my friends as we are all kind of in the same spot with work and kids and covid.
So what does everyone do to stay in touch with friends, or even make new friends as an adult? What else do you do outside of work with friends or when you have time to yourself? I used to play video games but can never seem to dedicate time to being able to do that anymore.
Yeah it does get pretty tough … I’m actually not sure I have an answer either. Sometimes I feel comfortable with the social distance because it allows me to isolate without feeling guilty or like a horrible recluse. I have more time with my baby boy and my husband. But I have to admit I am starting to get very bored. So what I do is just check in on my friends… I really try to do this at least once a week. But I will send them photos of my son or just call and chat for at least twenty mins. It’s not much but I guess it’s a start to reconnecting or bridging these gaps. Now, making new friends… that’s a totally different ballgame. I have no idea. This is partially why I joined this app. I figure when the time comes for my son to start daycare then I’ll start thinking about making new friends. It IS a necessity for me too because I’ve moved to a different country. So it will be beneficial for me to have local friends myself. But I guess maybe I’ll have more options for you in a few months. Meanwhile best of luck and if you need a chat I’m here
