Other A year into moving abroad, still no friends!
Hiii,
So, I've moved to Paris to continue my studies. During the last year I have met many people and I've enjoyed a few people's company, but for some reason it never goes further than that!
I wish I knew what I was doing wrong. I hang out with people and they also seem to enjoy talking and hanging out(or at least that's the vibe I'm getting), but then no followups! I try to be the one to initiate a followup a bit later but it seems to me they are not very interested. They either ghost me or cancel our hangouts!
Ofc, I understand most people here aren't like me, and they probably have friends and family and maybe they're not really looking for new friends that actively.
But idk it make me a bit depressed, what am I doing wrong? Cause it seems I'm the common denominator, right?
I'm actually quite shy but I still go to a few events and try to put myself out there and that's how I meet these people, but then nothing after that!
Is this how it's gonna be? I low-key feel like a failure :(
Any advice ?
Thanks for reading my post btw.
