[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse got a new job and we're moving to the DC area. Neither of us are from there although we will be closer to my family (6 hour drive vs having to fly). The job is an amazing opportunity and we are excited for the move but then I realized I don't know how we will make friends. I know we will be social distancing for a long time but I have two kids under 5 and am very extroverted. We don't really know anyone and I'm worried about how many years it will take to make friends if we can't have anyone over, do birthday parties, attend large school events, etc. Not really a question here but a worry that I've been having about the move.[/quote]

Hi!  Welcome to the area and what a stressful time to move.  It is not the same, but I’ve been getting to know my neighbors much better during this time.  We move to the neighborhood we currently live in a few years ago, but still mostly hung out with friends across the DMV.  Now, we are out walking all the time and see the same people over and over.  We stay six feet apart, but talk daily.  I know their names.  We’ve discussed play dates when it is all over.

There is hope for connecting![/quote]
