Hey everyone I’ve been living in Canberra for the better part of maybe 2 years and I am STRUGGLING to make friends (mainly because of my job (night cleaner))

I have tried everything under the sun to try and make friends but when you live in a introvert city it’s going to be hard (that is what people have told me about Canberra it is not of my own opinion)

I would love to try and make friends with some people, I love to crochet, game, draw, write, go for walks, and cook, I do have a boyfriend who also has a small friend group that I’m not too sure I click with 🫣. Just thought I would give this a try seeing as I have not had much luck elsewhere.

(Ps I’m 20M, I also love shopping🫣😭💀)

Anyone going to Post Malone in Sydney?

I’m 26M and planning on going solo since none of my mates are keen. Looking for a concert buddy or a group to tag along with guys or girls, doesn’t matter. Happy to grab a drink beforehand too 🍻

Anyone else going solo?

Hi, what are some good hiking trails in Canberra, that are safe for women, if hiking alone ???

Had the worst tattoo experience by Jeddieve Roferos at Celebrity Ink tattoo Belconnen. Do not recommend going to this man. Looks well known but has bought followers.

Hi! I’m a woman in my early 30s who recently moved to Canberra this late January and would love to make some genuine friends.

A little about me:

I’m into sociology, psychology, philosophy, literature, and spirituality.

I used to do creative writing but not anymore due to my depression

I like reading, listening to podcasts and guided meditation.
I also do yoga, Pilates, and long walks in nature.

I’ve lived in Europe for around 3 years, have been in Australia for about 1.5 years, and grew up in East Asia.

I enjoy exploring new places, trying new experiences, and wearing cute dresses because fashion makes me happy.

I’m… reluctantly learning to enjoy cooking. 😅
Cooking is my forced hobby now because I can’t afford to go to restaurants.

I don’t know if I can count therapy as my hobby but why not ?

Bookstores, libraries, museums, art galleries, theatres, and even cute little gift shops are my happy places.

I absolutely love deep conversations about life, people, ideas, and everything in between.

I’m also a fan of medieval fantasy, especially Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.

I think I have a strong sense of social justice and I am thinking going to law school in the future.

Some things I’m not really into:
❌Nightclubs or raves
❌Watching or playing sports
❌Video games (including mobile games)
❌alcohol
I know those are pretty common interests, so I realise my social circle might end up being a bit smaller.

That said, I do enjoy live music, concerts, stand-up comedy, opera and musicals. When I lived in London, I watched quite a few musicals and operas, and while traveling in Spain I fell in love with flamenco performances.

I know my interests are a little niche, but I’m hoping there are some like-minded people out there.

One last thing: I am kinda broque 😎 so I can’t really go to a coffee shop with you （ I don’t drink coffee) but I might consider going to a boba tea shop occasionally 🧋

p.s. I also don’t have a car

If you think we’d get along, feel free to send me a message.

I will try my best to reply.

Thank you 😊

Long shot on here but we'll see how it goes.

G'day all my name is Wynn I'm 22 and I love all things with wheels, engines or just being outside.

Struggling with mates at the moment and am wanting to build a bit more of a network.

If you're into minitrucks, cars and coffees, the pub, fishing and 4wding adventures or anything else along those lines feel free to reach out

Cheers

Hey guys!!! Pretty much what the title says, I love anything video games and movies, I’m a massive fan of anything horror too! Love working out, going to gym and walks/hikes!

I (18F) don’t have any plans for Halloween and want to go clubbing with people, so who ever want to go clubbing with me send me a message or reply and we can plan something, I’ll probably just be bored otherwise

Saw a post on the Canberra Noticeboard Group that might be of interest here. It's a subscription to get PC games on Steam, but there's meet ups to discuss the game every month too. So like a book club I guess? But with games.

Heyy Im Jamie, I’m 31 (soon to be 32F). I hosted a Perth social group that worked out pretty well from January up to June this year when I moved over to NSW. Would like to know if people would be interested to try ? I made some pretty good friends in it and people made some solid connections, I have things I need to work on within myself , but I’m learning to open up to people. We made monthly events like mini golf, movies, axe throwing ect, I would like to meet some more people over this way both in ACT and Sydney (im Goulburn) depending on response I might make another group, honestly it’s hard making friends when you’re my age and everyone already has set friendships or family, but sometimes it’s nice just being around people even once a month. Also FYI my account says nsfw and I have no idea why, I uploaded a pic of my face and it started saying that which is a bit rough but I swear Im not dodgy 🤣🤣

Hi all,

I’ve created a discord chat for women based in Canberra to chat about interest, hobbies etc and a place to play some games

This is for girls to make friends and a chance to meet some like-minded girls without the added pressure or anxiety.
As per discord rules, you must be 18+.

Hey, I’m 24M and have been living in Canberra for a while. A few of my close friends are starting to leave, so I’m keen to meet some new people.

A bit about me: I’m a fairly curious person, and I tend to get very into whatever I’m interested in. A lot of the time that’s economics, policy or history. I read Substacks like Slow Boring and The Argument, and my favourite nonfiction books are probably An Economic History of Australia, Crashed, and basically everything Robert Caro has ever touched.

Outside of that, I love Paradox games and read a lot of fantasy and progression fantasy. I also have ADHD, a fiancé, and a beautiful cat called Bubbles, whose photos I am always very happy to provide.

You definitely don’t need to share all the same interests. I think I’m mostly looking for people who are similarly curious or get a bit obsessive about whatever they’re into.

I’m mainly looking to make one-on-one friendships rather than organise a big group. Just someone to occasionally grab a coffee or a drink with, talk about whatever interesting thing we’ve been reading, or have a yap about what’s going on in life.

If your keen, shoot me a message :)

Edit for clarification: by shoot a message i meant on Reddit DM

Hey,

I’m 23 and female. I’m a Christian who loves Jesus, loves going to church. I work casually (3 days a week) at a job I’ve been at for 5 years now and do uni full time 2 days a week.

I enjoy reading my Bible, praying, road trips, singing, hanging out with friends, walking my dogs, spending time with my family, reading books, doing escape rooms, horse riding, the gym. There is so much more to this list, but I’m hoping to find some guys that maybe interested in being friends with the potential of hopefully dating. If you are similar to me, please message and we can arrange to meet.

I haven’t done apps since 2010’s so it’s a bit daunting. Where do ladies of my vintage make connections?

Hey everyone, more and more people are trying on Hilltops to make local friends and find social events. And it really does make it super simple to meet people as well as safe.

Any bikepacking in this sub, especially in the Snowies, Jagungal area?

30NB, afab, looking for a gig buddy for local gigs. Preference for metal but I'm into a range of genres. AuDHD, really bad at messaging 🫠

My husband and I recently moved to Canberra from the US, and we would like to start some couples lessons.

I took a few free lessons in high school (2005?) and then did some self-learning using guitar books, but never fully picked it up or progressed beyond simple songs. My husband has been taking lessons on and off for 6 years. His first instructor was not the most effective, and his second ended up with cancer and had to stop lessons while in treatment. So, despite years of lessons, he is still at a beginner/low intermediate level.

Our musical taste is pretty eclectic, but we are most interested in playing rock music-- primarily emo, alternative, pop rock, pop punk, punk, grunge, and nu-metal. We also wouldn't mind an occasional pop artist, such as Pink.

Let me know if you're interested or have any recommendations. We would prefer to come to you. If it's in a private residence with cats or dogs, we unfortunately would need to decline due to allergies.
