Off topic: I am stuck in a service based company for last 4 years in a shitty project. The work I do can be done by a 12th grader. Now i want to move out by learning something new & changing my domain. But the thing is I am not able to study because I am stuck in a comfort zone and learning new thing gives me bad anxiety. It feels like I will never learn & be forever stuck here. Pls help on how to come out of comfort zone, learn things and apply for the job. Tata Consultancy Infosys Wipro

Not sure how many folks are in town for the holidays, so how about Teku Tavern (552 Denny Way) on Saturday, Jan., 4th at 2pm? The place has both drinks and coffee and very chilled. Happy to initiate a fresh thread in the Seattle bowl closer to the date
Oooof. This is a hard one. Seattle freeze is real. My suggestion would be to meet people who like the same hobbies as you. For example: if you like yoga, attend yoga, and meet people that way. Go first. Invite people over/to hang. You might get “nos” but someone will say yes. Making friends as an adult is hard.
I’m making connections through my interests, more recently through the Patreon community of a woman I follow on YouTube that I really enjoy. Some of us are thinking about setting up some routine in-person meetups.
I’ve also been able to make some great friends through the various fan conventions in the area, mostly Washington State Summer Con and Washington State Horror Con, both held at the Washington State Fairgrounds in Puyallup.
Honestly, I don’t really care about sounding like a local.
I prefer to call places by their proper titles. 🤷🏻♀️
Following, as I’ve moved here two years ago (mid-30s) and still struggling!
Through your hobbies
How about we set a date and time and hang?
+1 to this!
That would work for me!
I would join as well!
I moved here almost a year ago not knowing anyone. The Seattle Freeze is real. This is what has worked for me:
1. Go out and do what you enjoy, hobbies etc.
2. Meet people at these events or activities.
3. Connect with people that you meet.
4. Ask for their or contact info (Insta etc). Sometimes they will be the one to offer.
5. Reach out to them. See if they are planning to go to the next said activity etc. Plan to connect with them.
I’ve slowly built a community of friends and acquaintances through this process. Different folks from various activities.
There will be some that will connect and engage, then suddenly drop out, disappear and freeze you. Don’t let this discourage you; move on.
Hobbies. Don't know what yours are but you gotta find groups and just show up.
What do you like to do? I can recommend some stuff… don’t listen to people, if you go to spaces that are targeted to common-interest type stuff and you make effort over some time, you’ll make friends. It’s just not a fast-friends kinda city, but you may get lucky!
