[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel you, OP. I have a small handful of women I feel true friendship with, but I can only handle one-on-one togethers and it’s usually something active like a long walk or a run.

[b]I don’t do group meetups anymore. The dynamics are too complex in multiple ways. For me, social media plus Covid years plus late 40s general malaise has killed my desire to go out in public with a group of women. Even ones I actually like. [/b].[/quote]

Same. I’m finally open and straightforward about it, which has helped a lot!! I just say “I'm more into hanging out one-on-one these days … groups just feel overwhelming to me lately.”

People totally seem to get it and appreciate the honesty (rather than just ghosting when they plan girls nights etc.)

Meanwhile, I’m the PP who cheered on the other PP who floated the idea of trying to convene a big group via an Evite. I tend to turn those things down now, but I would absolutely circle back to her individually to say thanks for including me and maybe inviting her to do something one-on-one. [/quote]

I have a group of 3 friends who became close during COVID. Everyone is great and inclusive.Nobody is trying to climb the neighborhood social ladder and it's so nice. You just have to find your people.  [/quote]
