MARYROSE02 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 If you have any hobbies/interests joining a club or taking a class at your local community college is a way of 'breaking out.' I'm not doing anything at the moment but keep meaning to start bushwalking again, start a creative writing class again, resume my dancing class. I never thought I would do that last one either. I HATED dancing but the final straw was when a lady I liked asked me to dance and I refused. I started a class the very next day. I hesitate to claim that I can now waltz, foxtrot, rumba, two step & cha-cha-cha, but I enjoy watching other people dance and I'm no longer embarrassed to get up and 'dad's disco dance! I continue to 'push' myself to talk to people in various social situations where I would either stay silent or not go beyond asking for something. It's not about making friends so much as becoming known and knowing other people. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Yesterday arvo I went for a walk, got a good book on Philosophy in an op shop on Cleveland St for $2. I sat in Ward Park to read a few chapters. There was a bloke eating his lunch nearby and I said to him 'I brought my book but forgot to bring my lunch.' He just glared at me. Last night in the Strawberry Hlls Hotel the barman who served me was working in The Shakespeare on Sat night. I asked him if they paid him more in the Shakespeare. He said, 'They SHOULD pay me more.' and looked at his colleague and said, 'do you think they should pay me more? After all, people come in here expecting to see me.' This is my second stint in Sydney and I'm definitely not as lonely as I used to be despite spending long periods on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest emmag Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Hi, I've been in Sydney for about 6 weeks now, living in the Randwick area.

Guest newbie28 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hi Claudia and the rest of the forum ), i've been here about 3 weeks luckily living with a friend and know other people, but they are all pretty settled into Sydney life and I want to get out and meet more people. I live in the Bondi area, but can easily come into the city for after work drinks or something. Looks like a few of us are in the same boat, so maybe we could arrange a meet up or something. speak soon! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emmag Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hi there, A meet up sounds great, I'm in Randwick, not too far from Bondi but am happy to meet up in the city if that's most convenient for others. Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adamski Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hi guys, New to the forum and new to Sydney! Got in 2 weeks ago with a friend and have settled in around Kirribilli and now looking for buddies around the city! Looking to do some travelling for a week in mid-December and also at the start of January too before starting full-time work in Sydney later in January. If anyone’s around (or arriving shortly) and fancies meeting up for a drink, let me know! Would be good to meet a few faces! :-) Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
