Woman, Feeling Isolated In Bengaluru, Asks ‘How Do You Make Friends?’
In a heartfelt post, a Reddit user discusses how challenging it may be for an adult in a bustling metropolis like Bengaluru to find true friends. The post is titled “How do you guys make friends and groups?” and was shared by the Reddit user on the r/Bengaluru page. In her post, the user stated that she was looking for help for a close friend who had been experiencing loneliness since moving to Bengaluru last year. “My friend moved to Bengaluru last year and has been feeling pretty lonely ever since. We often talk about how hard it is to meet new people as an adult, but lately, she’s kind of given up trying,” she said in the post.
The user on Reddit said that her friend was “genuinely one of the most fun people to be around,” a full-time professional, and a Malayali with a terrific sense of humour. The user claimed that her friend has been feeling lonely in Bengaluru as a result of her attempts to meet friends largely failing.
“She’d especially love to have a few good female friends or be part of a women’s group she can hang out with – just to feel less alone,” in her post, the Reddit user requested suggestions for Bengaluru-based communities, events, or applications that facilitate socialising.
“It really hurts to see her struggle without anyone to share her time and joy with,” the user ended her concerned post.

Within a few hours, individuals were quick to express support in the comment section.
A user said, “Most locals also don’t have the quality and quantity of friends they once had,” citing factors such as work, migration for studies, and marriage. “It has everything to do with our generation, work, and social media,” the user added.
Another user acknowledged that they haven’t made any new close friends in years and have instead relied on a small circle of pals from school and college, sporadic discussions with coworkers, and gym patrons: “I don’t approach people for conversations. I’m not good at starting them.”
Some users recommended events hosted by We Play BLR or activities like Cubbon Reads as possible paths. Online platforms such as Facebook groups, community meet-ups, and dating apps were also mentioned by other individuals as easily accessible means of meeting new people.
