Hello everyone! I am 19 years old, turning 20 this year 🙈 and have found myself feeling quite lonely recently. I live in a small village in England and have always lived in the countryside which I love, but it makes it very difficult to meet new people. Since finishing college, I only ever leave the house for work and am not really close with anyone I went to college with. I work in a cinema so I do get to chat with customers and my colleagues at work but that's the only time I get to really socialise with anyone. If anyone has any tips or advice on how to make friends and meet new people then please let me know! If anyone wants to make friends with me then of course I'd be happy to chat with you! 😊

If you do any sports or have any other hobbies, you could join a club for it. You can often meet likeminded people there.

Try taking a class for something that you are interested in. It can be anything - an art class, crochet or knitting, soap making, fishing, boating, cycling, dance, other sports. You will likely find people with similar interests. I once joined a bocce ball league - it was really fun! I see you do photography. There are often local groups who share work and constructive feedback. You could find (or even start) a group of people who meet somewhere interesting, take photos for a couple hours, and then share their work. Are there talks at the local library or book store? Is there a local museum or botanical garden where you can volunteer? Does the local yarn store have open hours where you can bring your WIPs and speak with people? Have you checked out Meetup?
