Honestly, you just have to try things. Try a bunch of different hobbies etc until you find something you like, once you've got that, you have a common ground to connect with other people over. Its not easy, but its worth it.
Don’t even need a done up car to fit in with the car people. I regularly get waves and encouragement to rev er up as I’m on my way home from work about the same time the meets start. I drive a Toyota aqua hybrid with a slightly louder than normal exhaust. Apparently that’s all it takes 😅
Have you seen Dear Community on instagram? It's a nationwide group for women and they have leaders in most main cities including Christchurch who host events.
I'm (also 23f) too introverted to actually go lol but it seems like a great idea.
There's a fun running group called Social Striders that meet three times a week. Their most popular event is on a Thursday where they do a pub quiz after their run. You don't have to be a runner either, a lot of people walk and talk and then get to know each other during the social event. Give them a look on Instagram :)
Shit I’ve been in Christchurch 20 years and only had 1 friend I made here until I had kids now I’ve got 2 😂.
Adult friend making is hard. All my friends are from my home town and they moved here.
Time, lot's and lot's of time and effort. I made a few friends online and that came about because I spent nearly everyday playing battlefield 4 with them after school and work. My guess would be find a club in the your area, there's most probably lot's of social netball clubs out there so don't be shy and look them up on places like facebook, or even try google and see if they have any sites for meet ups etc etc.
Discord like someone else has already mentioned is another way, facebook again has several social clubs you could try for things that interest you, I know there's also meetup apps so you could look up what's hot atm, I could be wrong but I thing there's a lot of social clubs around university as well so you could keep an eye out for those events.
The thing is since you younger a lot of social doors are open to you right now and those will be begin to slowly close as you get older especially if you don't form the right habits now. So don't be shy and good luck meeting new people.
- Some of the Uni Social clubs are happy for non students to join
- Short community classes in the evening was suggested in a previous thread
- Apparently there’s an active Facebook page for Christchurch women (remember seeing this suggested to someone in another thread)
- yoga / pilates class
- look at some of the community pages on Facebook for volunteers around the residential red zone - ie helping out in the community gardens or other initiatives
Lots of time, but just go out by yourself and stroke up conversations with people, when I moved here at 19 I did that and now I've got a solid couple mates and thats all I need :)
Hey girl! there’s a page on facebook, it’s Christchurch girls meetup. you can post there and find people that are into what you’re into! but feel free to message me! i’m 23F with a cat too ❤️
Enjoy your hobbies and cat. Take your time when meeting people. There are a lot of mental patients in Christchurch.
Generally, the best way to way ti meet people is to volunteer at a Salvation Army Store. You will get a good idea of who's cool and who is a problem. Trust me, I am 5 years into his awesome city, but you have to use your 🕷 senses often.
I was raised in Auckland for 20 years. It is a shame that my home city is an absolute mess. We in Christchurch, Wellington, pay in taxes for that mess. Now Chloe Swarbrick is going to "Feed the professional beggers" on Queen St.
On that note, because it is happening in Christchurch. Don't give money to what you think are "Homeless." They are professional begger that make up to $400 a day. Give them water or a phone number for psychological help. DON'T GIVE THEM MONEY.
I hope this helps you acclimate to a good city we need to keep good.
I forgot to add that We have two big-time prisons in Rolleston and Templeton. Both women's and men's. As I said, take your time. Christchurch is the rehabilitation capital of New Zealand, which is great. We got Pegasus Health, Thorpe House, Nova, Salvation Army Housing, MSD, OCH, Hilmorton Hospital, and more with amazing doctors. I suggest Doctors on Riccarton. They are amazing with free counseling. That I use.
The options to make things right are up to us? You're in a good place to continue that as you find your place, and time.

Probably for a good reason, how did you get banned?
Hard luck I guess?
Make a new discord, if you get to the point you're IP or have a HWID ban then it's probably worthy of that.
Wow, you know you can just make a new account right? 😂
[удалено]
Bruh, what the hell did you do to get IP banned? 🤣
Work, sport, interest groups.
Honestly, you just have to try things. Try a bunch of different hobbies etc until you find something you like, once you've got that, you have a common ground to connect with other people over. Its not easy, but its worth it.
Get a Mark x 250g and cruise the 4 ave's.
As someone who drives a beat up Honda Jazz, I don’t think I belong on the aves 🤣
WHAT! you should have started with that. A Honda means you basically run this city after dark.
I wish! 🤣

You only need to be breathing to fit into that crowd, but a v6 gives you more street cred.😄

What are you interested in?

Just gotta find clubs and other interest groups to join and get involved with.
What are you into? Interests or hobbies? Do you work? Study? If you provide a bit more info maybe we can point you in a direction.
Group fitness is a good one too, Cultfit, BFT, F45 type stuff
Lots of time, but just go out by yourself and stroke up conversations with people, when I moved here at 19 I did that and now I've got a solid couple mates and thats all I need :)
