So, I've been in a relationship for the past 4 years that that has really taken a toll on me emotionally. My ex was extremely jealous and was constantly worried that I would cheat on him. Because of this, I pretty much lost touch of all former friends and never really went out or did anything socially because I wanted to avoid his million questions/judgement when I would come home. I am already a pretty quiet and shy person to begin with. I am realizing now that I really don't have any close friends or social circle. I have the people I work with but most are older than me and are married and have children. I'm also a single mom to a 10 year old so my socializing time is limited. I'm feeling like I need to go out and meet new people but I just don't know how at this point in my life. I'm not so worried about dating at this point and just need good friends in my life. Any tips on things I can do?

Common interest is the way to go.

 

If you meet people through common interests, you immediately have something to talk about.

 

Look for local clubs and societies related to your interests.

 

Meetup groups and adult education classes exist for just about anything you could think of.
