[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I don't have a friend group. I have individual friends. In a group, I get quiet and drained faster than one on one. [/quote]

OP here.  Same… I’m more talkative now in groups now than I used to be but I still get drained and prefer 1 or 1. I’m feeling the kids pulling away as and will be in college soon-ish and that is making me feel I need to have a friend group where making plans happens more often and more on a regular basis. I think I also want to feel like I belong to a group.

I don’t drink anymore and I also don’t want an exercise group. Volunteering would be good too- any recommendations in the  Rockville/Bethesda/Gaithersburg area to meet others in the same phase of life (amongst others)?[/quote]

I'm not in your area, but I volunteer - one weekday after work at a dog shelter, and on weekend mornings at a farmer's market. I've met people in ALL phases of life, not just the same as mine. Don't limit yourself to thinking you can only be friends with people just like you. I'm 48 and friends with people who are pushing 60 and who just turned 30. People single, divorced, married, with kids, without, whatever. Be open-minded to friends who are different than you are.[/quote]
