I was focusing on my career and just working - suddenly realised I don't have any good friends. I quit my job, in depression right now. I am also an introvert which makes it very hard for me to go to a public gathering. I also don't smoke/drink. How do I make new friends?
Friends are overrated, you dont need to. If you organically bond, good enough otherwise its fine. If you are married your partner makes uo for it for the most parts.
That being said to organically bond, you need to increase the surface area meaning you need to stumble into new people to make new friends. For people like me its just colleagues and old school/college friends.
Anyhow at 33 you dont really make friends just acquaintance so its better to rebond with your old buddies which I am sure you must have lost touch with rather than finding new ones.

Zuck would definitely say that. 🤣🤣
I felt as if he were talking thru you
Friends arent overrated lmao Yes you need to learn how to be happy being alone and then focus on making friends But having friends to talk to, hang out with and go outside with is very fun
I suggest travel - especially in group trips - this is the way I have made most of my friends!
I second this. I'm not sure where you live, but in Bangalore you've multiple platforms like Plan The Unplanned who have short (1/2/3 days) treks or backpacking trips. Good way to meet people.
You could also join NGOs like Robinhood Army where I've seen quite a lot of folks to be 25+ and so it's not that hard to connect on things.

Hey Folks. Here for some advice…
Context: I’m 37. MBA+Engg Grad working. Big Blr Startup. Good Role in Biz. Married (Started dating 12 years back & then got married).
I’m an extrovert/fairly social (Mostly hang out/around other people...
Why all the ‘unconnected new people’ you meet, have to be women (‘all smart and good looking’) 😂 You are right,...
As I've gotten older, I've found it increasingly difficult to make and maintain friendships. It seems like everyone is too busy or set in their social circles.
How do you make meaningful connections as an adult?
Dating is next to impossible, at least finding friends you can be yourself with should be comparatively easy?!
