Title	Struggling to find friends, moved here in Jan 2021
Author	No-Gap-7421
Body	Hey there! Apologies if this is commonly asked or if this isn’t allowed - but I’m (23M) struggling to find friends here. I moved in Jan 2021, from North of Scotland, and obviously C19 didn’t lend itself to making friends all that easy with everything being shut. Fast forward some more and everything’s open again, but I have no one to do anything with or no friends just to hang out with. Moving here from a small town and seeing how much is constantly going on, makes me so sad sometimes to know that I have no one to spend time with doing fun things. I moved here for work (office) but it’s been entirely remote and there’s no plans to go back into the office. I also moved in with flatmates I found on openroom, and whilst lovely, we’re definitely on the flat mate level rather than friend level. I go to the gym, am pretty outgoing, and love a drink. I really want to appreciate what Glasgow has to offer, and hate the weekends of just sitting in and watching Netflix. Most of the people I do know here never want to do anything (I’ve asked on multiple occasions) and yeh I’m just struggling a bit. Any help? Thanks

Hey there!

Apologies if this is commonly asked or if this isn’t allowed - but I’m (23M) struggling to find friends here.

I moved in Jan 2021, from North of Scotland, and obviously C19 didn’t lend itself to making friends all that easy with everything being shut.

Fast forward some more and everything’s open again, but I have no one to do anything with or no friends just to hang out with. Moving here from a small town and seeing how much is constantly going on, makes me so sad sometimes to know that I have no one to spend time with doing fun things.

Any help?

Thanks
