lyndaaxo Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I'm only 23 (24 in a few months) and everyone else I know my age seems to have lots of friends. I don't seem to have many around me and even less than I can make plans with often enough. After school and uni and other jobs me and my friends kind of drifted apart so I'm left with a handful. These friends now have lives of their own and are starting to settle down, so I feel as though I never have any plans. I'd ideally like to meet people who I can do things with, days out, meals, films etc so I'm not on my own more often than not.
windows Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 What do you mean by having 'many' friends? As in, "as many good acquaintances I had during uni/school"? If that's the case - then probably no. School and uni are unique times of our life where we can be in touch with just that many people at once. It's kinda of normal for our early 20s age-group to start losing a lot of friends - especially since uni is just about finishing up. Transitional phases are the times you lose the most friends (and stand to gain more). This phase is uni-to-full-time-work. So you need to transition well. You could try and be intentional in keeping in contact with a few old friends - suggest a lunch out every now and again? You could join a sort of hobby group. Try to apply for a foreign language class, and learn a new language for fun - and meet others who are in your class too. It doesn't have to be a language. It could be anything really.
