In Today's Cliche Post: How the fuck do I meet new people locally? - eviltoast

Let me set the stage: Newly single dad of a young kid. After COVID-19 I haven’t done much outside of my home and taking care of my kid. I work full time-remote, and between the kiddo and leaving room for a hobby or taking care of the house, it seems like the only other thing I have time for is sleep.

The thing I know is that this is likely an issue with my anxiety and anxious attachment. The conclusion we’ve arrived at in therapy is that I gotta meet people. I apparently forgot, or don’t know how to do that. Where to meet people. It’s not a big city, but 200k-300k people in the county.

Maybe I’m looking for something of a strategy more than anything.

edit: thank you guys, I really appreciate it!

    You should check out Meetup.com. I started a meetup group for people in their 20’s and 30’s in my area who are looking to meet people and do fun things. We go hiking, do trivia, wine festivals, dinner&movie, board games, bowling, etc. It’s how I have met many friends, some of whom I would consider best friends.
