[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get involved in some things. You should look inside yourself to see if it is something about you. In my case I had this big image of living in DC and my life would be like a sitcom with cool friends popping by my downtown loft. Them reality hit and I have enough friends, just not how I imagined it.

Remember, wherever you go there you are.

You can be happy here, there are hundreds of thousands of people here, many new people coming every day looking for friendships.

I think I do have an expectation that life should be more fun, more connected than this. We have the house, employment, family nearby, friends, great kids etc and I do volunteer work with a cause I am very passionate about yet still I feel disconnected. Maybe it just takes more than 3 years for a place to feel like a home.

In another thread, people were complaining about neighbors who hung around on their porches. I would love to go hang around with my neighbors and drink a beer. Tonight I am going out but I will be driving close to 30 mins. and will fight to find parking to meet some friends who also drove in from  30 mins away etc. I have to accept that this is life in the suburbs though, and not as you said, keep replaying the sitcom in my head. I just feel there has to be more. I really do long for a sense of community.[/quote]
