I have been living where I live most of my life but thanks to my relationship of five years that just ended I find myself all alone and without any friends, so I totally understand how you feel. I mean I know people but I don't consider any of them my friends as none of them really enjoy doing what I like to do, other than my ex
It seems like once you get to a certain age it is so much harder to connect with people. If something works out for you let me know so that I can follow your footsteps. Good luck!
