I'm 21 and just started my professional job in finance.
It's in the home counties, just outside London.
I'm living at home. Tbh, I've always been slightly more introvert than extrovert, although I have no problems socialising, I always go for a few solid pals than dozens of friends and several social circles.
My problem is that I've left quite a few at my uni town and at home I've lost touch with many from college as they've moved away/gone on to stay in their uni towns.
I need to do something about it because I can't see how this situation will change unless I do something about it. At school/college/uni there were natural ways to interact and make friends but it seems now, opportunities don't present themselves as frequently. At work, there are many middle aged people with families, many in their mid twenties are in long term relationships and don't socialise too much.
I'm trying to find young-20 somethings but I'm not sure how...?
I'm thinking of taking up a sport like Badminton but obviously it isn't very 'groupy'. I'm not sure what else to do? I like drinking but long term, it's not particularly healthy/sustainable to binge drink every week so I'd like to move away from that.
Any ideas?
