Moving to a new city where I don’t know anyone and I’m scared I won’t be able to make any friends

I did just that and I’m not the most social person and I did alright. You’ll be fine - but you need to put in some effort. If you’re on Facebook, post a status message to your friends and ask if they have friends in that new city they can connect you with. You can do same on LinkedIn and other social media. See if your college alumni association has a chapter there, and attend events, even if virtual for now. Join meetups. And try here. Let people know the city and some info about you and see who’s game to get a drink or meet up for some other activity. You’re not alone. Even people who haven’t moved are in need of new friends for a variety of reasons. Put yourself out there a bit.

I get that it’s tough in the middle of a pandemic. You want to meet people but also stay safe and be smart.

I moved last year and didn’t reach out. I’m doing that now, you really need to put yourself out there. You can be anyone you want

Also, absolutely cannot have them contact my current job or use them as a reference. Put them or no?

I’m starting to see my bf as emotional baggage and feeling very claustrophobic. He’s intimidated by my job, he can’t stand to listen to me talk about work even for 5 min; he’s started doing this thing being very insistent with pda and the harder he pushes … the more I just say “no.” I’m not a prop/toy/trophy/side piece/cheerleader/emotional anchor/house maid…. For free. I don’t mind pda. But I don’t like someone mackin’ all over me when it’s disingenuous and has nothing really to do with me.
