What would you do?

[Bobber]

I have lived here in Maryland for almost a year now and am about to go insane. It is not as easy to make friends when you are not in an environment to do so...i.e school. I talk to my friends back home on a daily basis and they always tell me about all the great things they do and how much fun they are still having and I am here...all by myself, doing shit but working. I really want to go back home where I can do the same thing I do here and still have a personal life on the weekends as well. The only thing is that if I do go back I will feel as if I failed. My whole goal of moving up here was to get established career wise and then move back. What would yall do if all you did was work and had no real good friends to do anything with at age 25? I feel like I am wasting some of the best years of my life.

making good solid friends takes a while. just quit worrying abut the friend things and hang out with who uwanna hang out with and dont worry if ur "good friends" or not.

but if you want bro, ill be your good friend. we live in the same area

I was in your position a few years back.

I moved to Norway from Australia and found it tough going at first..but I toughed it out - kept working and training and now I have a great paying job that I get to travel around Europe on the company dime, and have my shit sorted here.

it takes time, but if you perserve, you will see the rewards of sticking it out and getting established (if thats what you want)

Find a girl.. Then you can't have any friends.

Woot and Shadow are 100% on. Doesn't get any better than their advice here, so suck it up or move somewhere else with better chances, don't go "back home" because you miss your friends, you pussy.

Make new ones

Cmon now.....MD is loaded with women and things to do. Your obviously not trying. I will make it real simple for you.....Get on myspace.com, post a topless picture of yourself, and start banging the chicks that come flocking to you. It doesn't get much easier than that. If that doesnt work....then take a 3 hour drive up here one weekend and we will go out for open season on broads. No offense but Pimp-Toca is right....Dont be a pussy.

You're just suffering from bouts of nostalgia, which is normal and your friends don't know better not to shove their fun in your face.

Truth is once your friends start hooking up and getting married they'll drop you from their daily lives because their lifestyle will start to change.

So wouldn't you rather focus on jump starting a successful career so that in the event you do go back home you will have a solid future and not just more good times with your buddies under your belt?

And for the record 18-25 were the best carefree, no responsibilty, party on days of your life. These years 25-30 you should be focusing on letting go of those days (18-25) and preparing for the fun that comes next and believe me it IS a ride as well.

lol pinlocka
bobber you move back down and you'll see it's not as fun as you remember it

 

[KillahBee]

I hear ya loud and clear, maing. All my friends live home, where we grew up, as well. All of them. I chose to move far away from home for school (MD, actually) and then took a job in a different state as well.

NOTHING will ever be like home - that's just life. Circumstances and memories make it so. But hell man, you are making new memories now. There is a lot of world out there - at least you had the balls to give it a go. When I go home I miss it - the friends, the familiarity, the goddamn Italian women with their dark hair and tons of makeup and...sorry, got off track there. Point is - you're doing something you should do. You're seeing new things. Going home cause it's not easy to make good friends in a new place is a pretty cheap and easy route to take, brother. I think that you're better than that.

Go down to Fells Point, throw on some nice duds, and just have fun. Friends will come.
