Making friends in person

Casyellow

Hi, I recently lost my friend group after going through a marriage separation. I am used to losing friendships over the years but I think I might still want a friend. I tried to join a local group for autistic adults about 6 months ago but they never called back. 

I was just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions to make friends (I'm 44). I love crafts but I find it really hard just walking into the room on my own to even start the process. Just wondered what your experiences were or any suggestions?

  • Some libraries hold craft group get togethers once a month etc. 

    In our County, you go onto the library service webpage and look through events held in those local libraries which are accessible to you. 

    It is not in every library - however, there do seem to be a few different groups distributed across our County.

    Hopefully, something similar might be available in your County too.

    Thank you, I did go to the library to print something off recently but got stressed out by the process! I think I need to ease myself into some social situations, I guess I'm realising that

    Based upon the below image; "My Best Today" - I will admit mine is, sort of, maybe a little "Espresso Cup" portion today (capacity being so variable - depending upon a given day!). 

    Well done for you; having made it into the library and having a go at their fiendish printing process.  If you are anything like me, I can imagine you might well go in there on a different day - and successfully command the printer into production - with no hassle required / noticed at all!
