    I have lived in this town for 11 years and have not made any friends. No work friends, no friends I have met otherwise. It doesn’t help that I hate living here and this town sucks.

    That said, I am very happy for you!

      You should think about moving. I grew up in a pretty dull town, where there’s only conservative assholes. Turned out, moving to a bigger city did wonders to my mood.

        I wish I could. My wife has her dream job and she let me have mine for over a decade. She also gets paid far better than I ever did.

      As an adult, I got 3 ways to make friends, even superficial ones : work, parents association where I usually get a position at the bureau to get to a big pool of people around my age and possible common interests, sports. If you’re unhappy and it reflects on the outside people may unfortunately not want to start a convo with you. Would a move be possible?

        Unfortunately, I had to quit my job to put my daughter in online school, negating the first two, and I’m not into sports.

        I have plenty of old friends, I just have to drive over an hour to see them.
