    Making New Friends????

    So, just to put it all out there...
    I've come to the Ladies and Gentlemen of SW to ask for advice (yet again)

    I'm having trouble making new friends.
    I don't like most of the dancers that I work with (in general)
    And people I meet at the bars are all losers.

    I've considered taking a job in another line of work just to meet new people.

    All the the people I know from high school remember me as this wild-child and I have a lot of trouble shaking the old image.
    I'm getting a little depressed on how to find nice, normal friends.

    I feel like even more of a loser posting this on stripper web but, the advice I get here is invaluable.

    Is it normal at a certain age to have trouble acquiring new friends?

    I feel like I should be walking around with a sign that says *add me* lol!

    Naaaw, this happens in different ways to different people. I go through it, but I suffer less because I have a tight knit-if-dysfunctional family, and solitude is not all bad. You might even get to the point where you stay in voluntarily and get annoyed when people want to to do things....
    If it really is a problem, do volunteer work or go to local arts and culture events, there are always interesting people around there.

    Join a club that does something that interets you. I joined a loal Mom's group and met some really really nice women. I am also thinking about joining SCA (living history group) and a homeschooling group in my area.

    These suggestions probably don't intereste you speciffically, but the point is, join something where you will find other people who have common interests!

    Since I started dancing it seems like I don't have friends anymore. I out grew the bar scene and like to spend most of my time with my kids. I also moved a couple times over the years which didn't help. I wish I had a few close girlfriends even if all we did was hang out and drink coffee and do the girl talk thing. I like to keep work and my personal life seperate, so it's hard to find people who accept what I do for a living especially "good" people. I think I have finally settled down. Over summer break I was thinking of doing more professional acting and dance lessons. Maybe even some yoga. Maybe I'll meet some new people. Part of my problem is that I started isolateing myself when I became a dancer. I'm glad I will be done with school soon so I can go back to normalcy.

    I think its part of getting older. When we were younger it was almost automatic that someone would make friends because they were in elementary up to HS.

    Now that were older and school is a place where I want to get in-and-out and work is just work not fun make friends time. I too am having a hard time making friends let alone talking to people. Im probably going to talk to a phychiatrist over the summer to sort things out but for now Im sticking to just meeting girls for friends.

    Sometimes there is busy coffee houses open late in which you can bring a lap top too or a good book like Borders for instance. Im trying to go places where I would think that if I had another me thats where I would go. Im wierd
