Making friends
Hi, 19/m.
I'm used to having a group of friends. It used to be me and 3 other guys, and we used to be the best of friends. We still talk, but not as much as then, because we have all gone our separate ways. Now I have 2 very good friends (both girls actually). One has moved away, and so I actually have just 1 friend! How sad?
The problem is, I don't know how to make friends? I'm unemployed so I don't have money to go out and spend at social occasions to meet people. And because I don't have a job, I don't have work friends. Where does one go to meet new people, and how does one go about it?
I think I've forgotten how to make friends. My closest friends, I've known for years, since school. And apart from that, I don't have many new friends. Don't get me wrong, in school, I would always get people that wanted to talk, or asked If I wanted to go to parties etc, because I was sort of sort of popular. But now that that's over, there's really nothing I can think of?
Any advice on how I can meet new friends? The few friends I have now are friends from my childhood too. And the more that my ideas and beliefs about the world change, the more I realise that I have nothing in common with these people?!
Thanks a bunch, any advice will be much appreciated.

Interesting. you seem to be in the same situation as someone I know. The thing about meeting people is that you have to be around people. That's why making friends is hard for you because you're not in an environment where people your age are interacting. Do you know someone going to a college near you? maybe you can start hanging around them and meeting the people they know and from there start to form your own relationships. You have to try going to places where you can meet people such as the gym, a school, pick up a hobby, do something other people your age do, and start talking to people. youll make new friends in no time
