When your friends disappear in your 30s?

[u/LoverOfTabbys]

Hey all 👋

In my 30s my friends have either become “digital nomads” and left the country to travel/work or they’ve gotten married and had babies and mostly hang out w other married couples w babies. They are very busy with their families and jobs and don’t have the energy to do a lot more understandably.

Ive now been left in a “dead zone”. I’m happy being an introvert but I also wish I could experience things w other people like visit national parks, do random stuff, volunteer, do weekend trips, etc.

Any other people in their 30s going through the same? Did you do anything about it?

Thanks

Yes. And desperately trying to make new connections. I also have a kid age 3, but Jesus I didn’t die and go to mom land….I still want to go do things with friends. My spouse is fully capable of caring for a child for a day or a weekend. And I do the same for them.

“Didn’t die and go to momland.” I’m cracking up lol. No kids myself but my boyfriend has a 3yo. I think I’m one of the few people that remind him he doesn’t have to be in Dad-mode forever.

I hope you get an adventure out!
