How to (actually) make friends as a native 24F Memphian…
24F, been in Memphis my whole life, graduated from UofM in ‘23 and besides one good friend I met at work and my partner, I’m very alone. I grew up in the church but have been untangling myself from organized religion, so all the people I knew from there have somewhat deserted me lol. I’m desperate for IRL friends of any kind. I know the most common answer for finding them is to “join things!” Unfortunately I’m not athletic in the slightest so there goes sports and I’m quite the introvert so the bar/club scene isn’t really my thing, either. I’m not around the Midtown area so I’m often not aware of things happening at local places. I’ve tried apps like Bumble BFF and that hasn’t worked out at all. I often feel like I’ve exhausted Memphis for all of its resources but I want to believe there’s still good people to meet out there. Let me know your unconventional ideas to make some friends 😩
