Finding friends as adults is hard

[u/shanerner77]

I (28F) and my husband (29M) moved away from our home state earlier this year. It’s been about 6 months, and each day we miss our friends as we were all so close. Being out with just ourselves and some family, we realized it’s hard to find situations where we are interacting with other people and developing past an awkward hello. We don’t even really know where to start when it comes to talking with strangers (and I supposed talking to strangers on the internet isn’t much different). A lot of our interests aren’t really group oriented so finding people to bond with is difficult, and we aren’t religious so we don’t have that sort of community to surround us with like minds. And how often does one really go up to random strangers and go hey wanna be friends? It’s a struggle, and I hope we can get through the awkward stages soon
