[quote=Anonymous]We have moved several times and I am admittedly a weird introvert. But my kid is finally school aged and I have time during the day. What did you do that yielded some friendships? I’ve already done: Gardening volunteer work Moms exercise class Volunteering for PTA events Volunteering for class parties Chatted with people at kid’s sport practice Part of the issue seems like at school and sport events, everyone already knows each other. Really, lots of the people here grew up in this town and they attended the schools their kids are in now! And then when I go to outside events like exercise class or volunteering, people don’t seem interested in making friends or they are way out of my life stage. I pushed myself to socialize at the gardening events and some of the older people were straight up gruff with me (younger and a newcomer as well as a minority). What else would you suggest for a weird, shy, new person like me?[/quote]
