But I think the key is that you're aware of those intracies. Going back to school is a great start ( a big one!) but on a small scale, taking a yoga class, visiting a new church (if that is your thing) or even trying something totally new (like a cooking class, photography, etc can be a great start. I also like to get aquainted with the local library when I've moved.

The people I went to elementary/middle school with ended up at my high school too, so making friends was not so tough then.<br /><br />A lot of those same kids went to college with me, but obviously there are far more people at a college and I didn't have a single class with anyone I knew. It took me joining a group in my comfort zone (The Catholic Student Center) before I was really able to make friends. And that wasn't even until the spring semester. <br /><br />You'll get there :)Samantha Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370961661054617338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-71986244301088192002012-12-03T06:09:58.459-08:002012-12-03T06:09:58.459-08:00Sarah, great post as always.

I'm good with a couple close friends, and a lot of friends I would call shallow-fun relationships. I try to enjoy people at face value and if something deeper develops then I count myself blessed. Best to you as you travel this journey. You're right, we all need that friendship connection at some level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-62691863792707159682012-12-03T06:07:26.462-08:002012-12-03T06:07:26.462-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
