I'm fine mate I just don't understand as I thought I already answered the question.

Not sure if this is right place or not but I could use some advice.

I've always been quite shy and socially awkward and have a hard time making friends. I grew up in Werribee in the western suburbs of Melbourne and only have a handful of what I would call close/proper friends.

I met my wife online 10 years ago online and as she was the only one working at the time, I was the one to move to her which is on the other side of the city around the Frankston area.

In that whole time I have not been able to make any new friends over here where I am now.

My wife is pretty socially anxious and awkward as well and she herself only has a handful of real friends.

We both find it really hard in social interactions to get past anything further than chit chat with people.

We are both really needing to make new and more friends but honestly we have no idea where to start.

With all of my friends on the other side of the city, I don't get to see them as much as I would like. I really need a new friend group much closer to home to hang out with as well.

Any advice on this would be really appreciated. It is really frustrating feeling so socially inept

Making friends as an adult is hard, whether you’re socially inept or otherwise.

I have made most of my adult friends through either work or hobbies. Playing organised sport helped a lot in my 20s. I think in general some sort of structured regular activity works best to meet people because otherwise life gets in the way before the friendship is properly established.

When I was young and single one of the best things I did was join an acquaintance’s trivia group - gave me an excuse to get out of the house on a weeknight and I met a bunch of cool people I wouldn’t usually hang out with. Led to a bunch of other social opportunities, including indirectly meeting my wife.

If you're on holiday breakfast beers are great.

Same as shower beers on a hot day.

What about those affogato coffee drinks? espresso Martini? coffee? breakky?

My mate has shower beers all the time he reckons. Does it not get hot while you're in there? Ive always hung shit on him about it. I may have to reconsider

1. Has to be an ice cold stubby
2. A raised shelf is ideal

Also after a workout/work/hot day have your normal hot shower to clean then slowly shut off the hot tap to get yourself acclimatised to the cool water and its incredibly relaxing

[Cuzz09]

Do extroverts ever get home and are just exhausted?

I watch some people who are just go,go go and think how can you be like that 24/7?

Do they get home to their partner/dog/cat and are "look at moi!!"

or do they get home, collapse and reload for tomorrows show?
