I’ve been having a hard time making new friends lately, and I’m wondering how others manage it. I don’t have social media, so I don’t stay connected with people in the same way, and honestly, I’ve been feeling pretty isolated.
I also deal with severe anxiety, which makes it even harder to step out and meet people. I’m really looking for friends who can help me distract myself and do things together, but I find it so challenging to form those connections, especially being over 30.
If you have any advice or suggestions on how to meet new people or start building friendships later in life, I’d really appreciate it.

Get therapy for your anxiety and then start getting into the world.
It isn’t your friends job to distract you and get you into the world. It’s unfair to start a friendship expecting this and it will make it harder to maintain them. You acknowledge you aren’t keeping up with people – you gotta start.
