Hi sister, how do people find friends as an adult? I work 5 days a week (but im a community care worker so im by myself most of the time so cant really make friends there). I am also unbelievable shy, and find it hard to go to new things like groups and clubs ect.... and if I do I cant approach people and talk or know what yo say.... I have 4 fantastic kids a great partner but im still lonely and feel like something is missing and miss having ftiends expecially since ive moved to cairns please help :(

Go do some social skills courses. WEA runs courses on how to approach people. You must be able to approach people and function at work? Just apply your skills that you use at work to your social life. Everybody is shy and we are ALL scared to approach new people but sometimes you have to work through the fear to get where you want to go in life.
