Hey
I am not new here but I redownloaded the app after 4 years. Recently I’ve been feeling lonely. Lonelier than usually. I’m an ambivert but after moving for university I became really introverted and it wasn’t until recently I tried to put in some effort and get out of my comfort zone but even then I feel as though as I lack something because I can never make people want to get to know me more. I moved back home for the summer and my closest friends are abroad so it feels even harder on me because plans that I make fall through or the friends that I do have here rarely take the initiative. I really wanna become a better version of me. Build up my self esteem and make new friendships and build relationships. Does anyone have any advice that they care to share? Any apps that I can use? Thank you 🤍

Hi! I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this. I travel a lot by myself, so I understand how you feel. Depending on your interests and where you are located, there are some great ways to meet new people.
I've used the following:
- *** Events: It's excellent for finding nearby events. However, it's primarily for discovering events rather than directly meeting people.
- *** Groups by interest - people share many ideas.
- Internations site: This is for expat communities in various countries. There are both free and paid accounts. Expats and locals gather at different events. The paid account offers more interest-based groups and events.
- Meetup app: It has various groups based on interests and languages.
The *** are for that face book thing.
