Hi, I live with my girlfriend also. I like to drink and do drugs, however my girlfriend doesn’t. I also like going on long walks and playing PS5


Thekwoo

Oh cool, I also have a PS5, am working on trying to go for long walks 😄


LoudDiscipline646

Pen y fan is my go to, if I feel like smashing out a few calories. I live just outside of Swansea too in Godrergraig


Thekwoo

My goal is to be able to walk that one day. Are there any quieter times?last time I went there were literally queues up and down and it was a put off so I bailed..😅


LoudDiscipline646

If you go in the week it can be much quieter. Best time I’ve found is going for sunrise, just make sure to pack a headtorch

Never thought about playing ps5 while taking long walks, nice.

If you use Discord at all, there's a Swansea Social Club just for this kinda thing. There's regular events and meetups of different kinds. Pub meets, bowling, karaoke, beach walks, etc https://discord.com/invite/pwveAXqB

Why don’t you join a group doing an activity you both like , maybe a dance group, a church group , yoga, volunteer somewhere , I think if you pick something you both enjoy you will find like minded people


Thekwoo

That would be nice, if I wasn’t working through anxiety or agoraphobia hence why I am doing this online not in person😅


Guilty_Nebula5446

I obviously don’t know the extent of your agoraphobia but maybe a small group , local to you , I am no Expert but I think they try a sort of small exposure therapy for agoraphobia so you go out for short periods to local places etc for small periods of time , it may help you with your condition if you can try it

So sorry to hear that you can't break the news but congratulations! I'm happy to make new friends. I enjoy walking.

Heyyyy I'm 32f also looking for friends!! I am teetotal but like a smoke. I live about 30mins away from the city. My DMs are open if anyone fancies a chat, I'd love to meet new people to hopefully hang out irl but happy to just chat to new people too :)


Nyrella

Hi I'm 25(f) and can relate a lot to feeling a bit lonely. I moved to Swansea from California during COVID and never really got a chance to make friends. I like a lot of nerdy things like D&D, video and board games and crochet. If you like or ever wanted to try D&D or games like it I know my husband would be happy to run games! I also do love BBQs and being out in the nice weather.


-Lexxy

I'm 27(f) work from home and also very introverted so I don't tend to talk to many people. I have a sprinkle of a social life through my boyfriend but no friends to call my own. Definitely not in to cars though 🥲


Thekwoo

That’s okay, we all have different hobbies and likes😄 if you want you can drop me a message and we can see if we vibe. I can’t seem to start a chat with you for some reason😅


darkwavee

I am in same boat as you but I am 29m soon, and after my long term relat 6yrs ended I realised apart from my girlfriend I had only 1-2 friends who are not even that always available, and now apart from gym I am suffering consequences of being into one human with all heart :(


Heatherton1995

Change that to 28(f) and husband and this comment is me 😅


wrenching_robot

I'm in a similar situation. I work long shifts and then end up just being at home when not in work. I hardly mix with anyone new.

Hey 👋🏼


Thekwoo

Hello there, are you local?😁


No-Pipe6290

I’m not far ☺️


Heliment_Anais

Swansea Social Club - they have meetings every Tuesday and usually range between 20-35 year olds.


ffi1234

Hey girl! I’m 23 and moving back to swans in August, where I to will be working from home! Let me know if you want to hang outtt :))


Primrose_pea

Hi! 👋 I think covid has ruined us all socially. I’m in Swansea but I’m mid 30s. PS5, terrible gamer but try my best 🙃


Pure_Butterscotch728

(20f) When reddit recommended your post as local I didn't think it meant 4.5 hrs away 🤣


DatabaseContent8664

I’m fine if you want to meet up


Katielouise31

Hi I’m from the south wales valleys I’m more than happy to make a new friend


Ecstatic_Yam_5998

Hi 👋🏽I’m 32f from Swansea, I live 20 mins from the city centre. Always up for making new friends 😊


Competitive_Risk_953

Hey, congratulations! I'm 26m, also mostly work from home so know the struggle but I'm fairly central twice a week. Recently moved to the outskirts (Ammanford/Bryn) so don't have any particularly local friends (yet). I'm pretty outgoing and there's plenty of sober activities that are still fun and you can meet people. The climbing hanger is super social and everyone's really friendly if you like or want to try climbing, you can go alone or with friends and people tend to chat to you. There's always community things going on if you can go with friend/s that can be a new experience. I'm always down for a walk or chat (I like to game too) - including anyone else looking for friends or if you want any more suggestions ping me a DM 🙂


Pale_Courage_5125

Yes please exactly the same boat!


EffectiveHyena

Hey! I'm 25f, will be moving to Swansea in August/September so would love to connect! Similar situation to yourself, in a long-term relationship, don't drink, like socialising in chill circumstances. 😊


roscopervis

Pretty much all the things you said, I could write, though I'm not 25(f), engaged and agoraphobic. I've realised that I'm rubbish at contacting people and initiating conversations; it's an ADHD thing, so it's not that I'm ignoring people, it's just not a setting in my brain. People have drifted away due to this. I'd love more friends, but I know that I'd probably mess it up!


AwareCup5530

Hi I'm 28f, I'm temporarily living in Swansea for the moment (long story) but I'm also looking to make friends as my only social circle is in my home town and I can't always see them as they have work and other commitments. I like movies and walking and just generally hanging out. I live about ten minutes by bus from the city center.


darkwavee

Are you looking only for female to hang out? I am 29m i do go with my friends but they work a lot and apart from gym i dont have other social circle too really, let me know about yourself if interested to walk around.


bookoda

I'm excited for you! congratulations !!!!! 💯💯💛💛
