New in town and in need of new friends?

It’s exciting moving to a new city! You get a chance to start a completely new life in a new place. However, whilst many people find it easy to settle down in an unknown city, others can feel quite anxious at the bare thought of it due to the social challenges it brings.

Plan ahead for a smooth start

We understand that fear might kick in around all the things you yet don’t know about the new place you’re soon to call your home. It’s completely natural to feel nervous before you’ve had the chance to explore all there is to know and found a couple of interesting friends to hang out with. Honestly, it will probably take some time for you to get completely comfortable, but rest assured, you’ll get there eventually! The only thing you can do beforehand is to inform yourself about the city you’re moving to and fix all the essentials such as housing. This will help to calm your nerves and give you a higher sense of control over the situation you’ll soon be facing.

Afraid to be alone in a new city?

We’ve all been afraid of not finding friends to hang out with at some point I n our lives. This fear is usually intensified when we find us in an unknown environment. Despite the kind words from the surrounding that “it will all be okay!”, it’s hard to imagine how it all will just fall into place. It’s hard to just walk up to somebody and ask whether they’d like to hang out one day. You’re might also be under the impression that everybody already has many friends and are caught up in their own lives. Don’t let this fear persuade you that nobody will be interested in getting to know you. Always remember that you’re by far not the only one to feel this way and that you indeed have something to offer in terms of friendship. The important thing is to realise that this is nothing to be ashamed of, but rather a normal issue many of us are confronted with from time to time, especially in life-changing situations.

Moving to a new town can be a change for the better

A fresh start might just be what you need! Some new faces in your circle of friends can bring personal development and energy to try out things you have always wanted to but lacked the right company for. Whatever made you want to seek adventure in the new city, don’t be afraid because new experiences await you just around the corner. Explore your neighbourhood for local activities and check out digital communities where you can connect with likeminded people that live closeby.
