Blink, do you have any hobbies? Do you go to college? Do you like to read? I ask these simply because after I left college and was out on my own in my early 20s, it was very hard to make friends. You are no longer surrounded by your peers with common interets, but rather by a whole cross section of people. And it still seems to me that most people in this world are content with the friends they have and have no interest in making new ones, say, after 25. I am the opposite, I love getting to know new people and adding to my circle of friends. But, I have found that most people aren't like that. It's as if they get lazy and have no energy to cultivate a new friendship. ANd friendship requires much cultivation!
However, the only way to do that is get involved in activities you enjoy with like minded people. Join a book club. Take a class. Volunteer somewhere. BUt it takes effort and courage to put yourself out there.
Are you ready for that? And would your boyfriend support you in this?
