Idk if this the right place for it, and here it goes.
Pandemic exacerbated it, it's true, but I don't know if that's when it started.
I'm a transplant from the other side of Atlantic (not Europe) and have been living in Houston for over 10 years and I have not been able to make friends. Back from where I am, I had a close circle of friends and I miss the feeling of kinship, of belonging, of community. I feel shy, awkward and introvert around strangers and it takes me a while to come out of my shell.
I'm a professional and my day is mostly packed. I'm not looking for a romantic relationship, or love, or sex. I want to talk to someone who feels the way I feel, as a transplant trying to adapt for many years and failing.
My hobbies are collecting hobbies: baking, cooking, gardening, macrame, crochet, sewing, hand-made decor and everything under the sky that piques my interest on any given day. I love to read, fiction and non-fiction, into politics, humor, yoga, running, hiking, and dancing. And I can't remember last time I danced.
So if you feel like me, say hello and let's chat.
