Seeking new friends

[Annie75]

Hi,my my name is annie,  I am 49 female, i am very shy and have issues meeting new people, i don't really have any friends, so I am seeing if I can make new ones, online to start with, as I am to scared to meet face to face, I am happy with anyone

He Annie75,

I am not from that area, but I am looking to meet new people too. I believe alot of people here are and reaching out on the forums is a way to not be lonely. You could try to answer a post and see how that goes.

Also, someone here told me about the Meetup app. It has lots of groups and events, some in person and some online through mostly Zoom. That could possibly be a way to join things online. Take it slow and just remember everyone can read what is posted here, so just be safe and don't reveal too much personal information.

I applaud your bravery in reaching out with your post. The first step is the hardest and small steps most defiantly count.

I hope you meet some lovely people.

Dear Annie75,

Slow is good and totally understandable. At your own pace.

Hello and welcome Annie75 (and wave to ABC01),

I am also a 49 female. I am shy too and have always been a quiet person. I’ve gone through phases of coming more out of myself but certainly at the moment I’m very much alone, living on my own and do not have a social life in the town I live in. I do have 3 good friends in the city who are all quiet, sensitive people like me.

Do you have any particular interests or hobbies you enjoy doing? I love photography and I find it really good for my mental health. I noticed you chose a guitar as your avatar. Do you play music at all? I used to play guitar but I’ve really neglected it for a long time now.

Happy to chat with you,

Eagle Ray
