Best ways to make friends in Bangalore?
Hi guys. I (24F), struggling to make friends. I live alone and no one at work even talks as they’re so caught up with work and I honestly understand that. Are there any communities that I can join?
Go out, meet people offline. If you play any games you can join nearby gaming clubs.
Bumble, hinge are also an option, but mostly people there are looking for dating, be open towards your intentions.
Office friends are not real friends. ✌️
Yeah so how do I meet people offline ? As in where and what do I do? I have no clue
Reach out to your classmates from school/college who are in Bengaluru. They are the real ones you can connect easily. Join book clubs or hobby groups in fb.

What efforts have you put till now?
I have always tried reaching out to people. When I try talking, they would just avoid me. This has happened not just at work but even outside. The guys that I was talking to started hitting on me. I moved on from it. And I feel like a complete misfit and lost all hopes.
Thats what Bangalore has been till date for me. Life is faster than usual. People say its still slower than places like Mumbai and all... but yeah... finding just friends or people for small talk... is a task here.... It can go two ways from here... Either you will get used to it... just like i did and become one of them... or you will make some nice friends who think alike. Either ways those feelings are way better than what you are going through. So allow time some time.
There are plenty of interest led community groups around Bangalore, that's a great option to go and meet new people - board games, rock climbing, music, dance, theater, sports, reading, slack lining; you name it . A lot of these also have woman only groups - there are woman only, football amateur clubs/groups, BCI rock climbing has a good amount of woman led events too. Apart frol that Lahe Lahe, BIC, Atta Galata, Equilibrium, Courtyard, MAP, Medai/Raft/Gillys also have a steady stream of activities through out the week for people to participate and socialize. Dating apps shouldn't be your channel to meet people, I can understand what you're going through. Good luck!
Hey thanks a lot for understanding. I’m glad you get the gist of what I may be going through. Your suggestions made me more hopeful. Have a great day!
I know it's really hard to make some genuine friends but you will meet every kind of person all around, Good , Bad and Genuine Meet people offline from the office, there is one app for people to play badminton. Accompany them to make friends and play some sports.
I had joined Cult.fit, swimming and badminton, just met transactional folks, and didn't make real good friends. My roommate was a good friend during weekdays. Weekends were mostly spent in cooking, netflix and sleeping.
The sad part is even the neighbours and colleagues change so often. Even after 12 years in B'lore, I couldn't crack this.
Then just made peace with the fact that I can be happy and content all alone and still have an awesome life. Go to the movies, travel places, explore food places, pursue fitness and sports. No pressure.
