How to meet new people
It made me
happy
 "All I needed was a change of environment."
How I did it: Changed jobs. Found out that my job was holding me back - long hours prevent me from socialising, and the people at work, while nice, just don't "get" me. The job was also shit house, to the point where it was just depressing. I switched jobs and now am happier than ever. I found a very good crowd and we all get along very well. Lessons & tips: If you're unhappy with where you are in life at the moment, make a change and you may find that you'll have more opportunities (and be in the right headspace!) to meet people. Resources: Seek.com.au :)

How I did it: About a year ago I decided I needed to make new friends and get my social life going again as I'd lost touch with a lot of old friends and wasn't going out as much as I'd have liked. I joined a variety of different clubs and societies, took up new hobbies and nightclasses and tried new activites. Through these things I ended up meeting lots of new people, some of whom have become great friends of mine. I also have a grea… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Well at university, I just took the plunge and started chatting to people and making sure we were on good terms and then it built up from there. Also with old friends and friends of friends I made more of an effort to keep in touch and remind them of me (it sounds stupid but worked) and then talked to them more.Not only that but don't turn down outings because you "can't be bothered" or because you have "too much work"-you'll end up havin… Read how I did it…

on meetup.com. There are so many group outings on there. I dont know why I didn’t think of this sooner. Should be a great way to meet some new people in the area.
Meet others outside of Maryland

Im tired of the little hick town i live in. Nothing ever changes and everyones kind of the same. They are not very nice and they all try to be gangster. THey dont realize they live in the smallest town in ceciltucky and its a hicktown. There is nothing for me here and i think if i get the heck out of this town and meet new people ill find what im looking for. I would go anywhere to get out of where i live.
I counted.

I counted the number of people that i enjoy being with 99% of the time. The number I got was seven. SEVEN. Out of the more than 6.5 billion people in the world, I get along well with seven. Oh dear.

this has proven to be entirely out of my control. When I made an effort to meet new people, my effort was in vain. When I make no effort, people magically fall into my lap. I haven’t made any close friends recently, but made many acquaintances with whom I have casual friendships. I still feel a little “outside” and would prefer to have just a few close friends, but it’s an improvement.
