I assume when you say city, it’s a decent size place haha. I used to go to pop up yoga/barre classes and there would be a happy hour or something after. A ton of people went by themselves and I made friends that way

Great idea!! I haven’t been going to any workout classes due to covid but definitely will try!

i know how you feel! do you go to a gym? maybe starting there :) i’m in a facebook group for my gym and new members/people who are new to the city always post there to find buddies!
otherwise, getting involved in a resource group at work/running clubs/volunteering at events/community groups at church

In my early 30s, single and realizing i barely have friends. Technically i have a bunch of friends all over the country (thanks to me moving around quite a bit) but not where I live so i don't see them as often.

Is that natural for 30s to have little friends or do i need to re-evaluate my life?
