Church or meet parents of their kids’ friends

Atlanta is still a very culturally Southern city. Social networks are formed mostly in high school or college at the latest. Relationships form over decades and continue through school groups, religious institutions, or family networks. Outsiders are treated with an air of suspicion

I have increasingly seen this and realized it’s not very accommodating to outsiders. I recently met a new coworker, and both of us went to HYP for college, but we immediately bonded over and talked about our high schools instead

I met lots of cool folks when volunteering with trees Atlanta. Surprisingly, many in my industry. Give that a try!

Just get out of the house, do things that interest you, and be open to starting conversations with folks doing the same thing. I like drawing, started going to figure study sessions, and a year later I have a handful of folks I enjoy spending time with - and a couple good friends i spend 1on1 time with - simply because I like to draw.
