don't really leave the apartment that much after work or weekends, haven't made many friends or reached out to the few acquaintances I have made since recently moving to live by myself in a new city
spending too much time on the internet/social media
my job is nice though
This can be real tough. I'd suggest being REALLY proactive about going to 1/2 "events" (meetups, shows, group runs/rides, whatever interests you) a week. It can be really hard to go solo, but even after showing up a few times you'll recognize other people, and in my experience its much easier to do now while the weather is nice rather than in the winter when nobody wants to go outside. Also rolling solo to a new bar/coffeeshop and peoplewatching/chatting with the bartender/barista is a great low pressure way to get out of the house!
