26m looking for some friends - North Bris :)
Hey! Hope everyone is having an enjoyable day off.
I (26m) recently had a six-year relationship come to an end, and it made me realise I don't have many friends of my own. I have been putting myself out there for social connection, making some new friends at uni and developing my work friendships, and though I do have some fantastic people in my circle, I don't see them outside of the environment through which I know them (uni, work, etc).
I thought I would give this subreddit a shot, so here goes! A bit about me:
I am studying full-time at uni and work two jobs, despite this I tend to have free time here and there, and usually have access to my phone for messaging. My interests include history, reading (mostly non-fiction, classic literature, poetry), op-shopping, nature, walks, cafe hopping, and exploring new places.
I am a vegetarian, but don't judge others choices! I am also Brisbane-born and raised, so I know the city well and know lots of places to visit. I am pretty low-key, friendly, and prefer positive, affirming friendships., ideally with people around my age give or take a few years.
One factor that makes it a bit tricky for me to find social spaces is that I don't drink, smoke, gamble or go clubbing, so that rules out a lot of conveniant social activities that are local to me. I am not sporty either, though I am fairly health-conscious otherwise.
If you think we might get along, please feel free to comment below or DM me and we can chat! I don't expect to meet up with anyone straight away, so there is no expectation from my end. Because I can get a bit busy with responsiblities I might not reply right away, but I will as soon as I can! Thanks!
