how does one make friends?
I moved to a new town just before Christmas for my job.
Now, 6/7 months later - Im really starting to feel down.
The thing is I have ZERO social life now. I get on fine with people at work, but everyone has their own friends and social circle and I feel like I dont want to intrude. I dont do anything outside of work. I literally play Warcraft, play mindless Facebook levelling games, watch the same DVDs over and over, read the same books.... thats my social life.
I dont have much spare money but that isnt really the issue... I just dont know how to make friends from scratch. I have been to a local pub a couple of times but just end up having a few drinks and leaving without speaking to anyone. Im too fat to play any sports these days.
I dont have any hobbies, I dont know how to get involved in anything.
A girl I work with recommended I did some voluntary work, but I just dont feel confident enough to put myself in that situation.
I know it is my own personality that makes me lonely and at the same time I bemoan the fact that I am, but I dont know how to break the cycle.
