How to make friends?

[Kiki-uk]

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to make friends?
I work in an office a few days and rent a room the rest but I don't have work friends in either place. As i get older I find it harder to click with people. I used to have a fun life and go out and party etc and now I have none of that. I don't have friends or any social life and it's starting to really get me down. Any ideas on how to make some friends before I totally crack?

Just be yourself, be friendly & get chatting to people you may find things in common, maybe join a dance class or gym class that way you're socialising & you will get talking to people X

I was thinking of joining some gym classes, will see how that goes,

I don't even have the boyfriend! So top loner me!!! Does anyone else feel they could be dead good friends with one of there clients but feel like they don't know where to start being friends with them? Does that make sense?

I actually felt at a disadvantage with other mums etc when my kids were younger. While chatting gemerally if I said I did nails I felt like they thougt I was after business and a few of them who used to get their nails done either looked awkward or tried to justify why they went somewhere else - I didn't care at all, I just had my mummy head on and was just being friendly - anyone else find that?

I just found with other mums they found out I was a hairdresser and just wanted their hair done or hair advice !! Then expected it at a low price [emoji53]

Just be yourself! If people don't appreciate you and want to be your friend then balls to them

I think the best way is to do some sort of class after work that you have an interest in, could be anything, art, cooking, drawing etc. If you have a genuine interest in the class you'll feel comfortable and chances are there will be like minded people there

I have a few clients I talk to very friendly. Some have added me on Facebook, others have suggested I do activities with them out of work. I have one lady who likes to go roller skating and asked if I wanted to go down the promenade with her some time which was nice. (although I don't roller skate) I think it is quite easy to make friends through the salon, just talk about hobbies and go from there x

Moved to London last year, still struggling to meet people.. Joined gym and stuff but no luck.. Anyone in the same boat?? I'm just a normal outgoing girl lol x

I found working in London difficult to make friends some reason I found the ppl in Uk were my uber friendly. In my country you strike up convo and almost make friends in the shopping que line or even bank que ! Think we just very friendly but yes in London I was very lonely and developed a disgusting habit of buying boots and bags !!! Shop retail therapy.

Anyhow I didn't find the gym helped as everyone wears headphones which is also same issue we have on public transport etc.. So I did make friends when I went to the local church tho, not sure if you into that but I am still friends with some them now!

I actually got invited to this app by a friend. It's like Tinder but for making friends. It's called snapmatch. The adds a little weird. but who knows. May be worth it.

Same with the gym, plus nobody makes eye contact or smiles, probably all starving [emoji23]

I joined a community choir a couple of years ago which was fun and people were friendly but I didn't make actual friends. I was getting on well with someone and we had quite a laugh but then she never came again [emoji20]
