Diary entry 15💋

I'm moving to a new city for work but so so worried about not making any new friends, any advice?

Thankyou for your submission!!

omg what an exciting time, but as you said equally scary!! finding new friends can be very hard, especially in a brand new city but let me assure you, you will 1000% find friends, I promise. A brand new city gives you so many opportunities to meet new people!!

1. Try joining girl groups, there are soo many girl groups up and down the country. such as Girls On The Go and The Lonely Girls Club ,a great opportunity to meet new people xx
2. Your new job, as you said you're moving for work, congrats btw!! so getting to know your new co-workers is a great way to make new friends, wether it's having lunch together or a coffee before work.
3. Use your hobbies, for example if you love to read, start going to bookshop cafes and see if you can spark up conversation. if you love to journal see if there are any journal groups near you. if you love to do pilates or go to the gym, see if you can talk to anyone there.

it might take a bit of time and trail and error. plus not every friendship will work out and that's okay!! I know it's scary but you can do it!! the key is to just put yourself out there and be brave and confident, of course stay safe aswell!!xxx

wishing you all the best in your new job and move xxx
