Really want to see old friends again but little desire to make new ones?
I wonder if this is an age-related thing or not? I've never been good in situations where I am left to my own devices to try and make new friends. Now as we start to come out of lockdown I really look forward to simple things like catching up with existing friends for a coffee or a few of us getting together for a pub meal and a drink. But I just have very little desire to meet new people and try to persuade them to want to be my friends. Since circumstances change, is this a risky strategy or a sensible short-term way to cope with the anxiety of adjusting to whatever the new normal is?
