The best way to handle this is to lean into any activities or hobbies that you enjoy, and then find a place were you can partake around other people..classes, groups, etc.

Once there, just be approachable and friendly. Everything else will fall into place.

I found success this way because when you think about it you're not starting from zero. You're going to already have something in common with those other folks there and that can be the foundation for conversations/hangouts.

I was in the same situation about 6yrs ago after breakup with no friends. I have made dozens of acquaintances and three of which I can say are the best friends ive ever had.

It’s very hard when mutual friends are involved when someone breaks up because you feel like they have to side for one of you etc, but don’t feel worried about posting Worcester is becoming a big scene so many things to do around. Nightlife and breweries , check out the group app meet up for local things your into the have one for hiking or kayaking. Look on Facebook for local groups or what about local parks.

What are you into?

The sledding hill I used had a full soccer field at the bottom and on a normal occasion you wouldn’t even make it to the field but during that storm people were full speed hitting the fence on the opposite side of the field. Skating around the streets was also a blast

if you’re into live music of any kind i’d start there, really easy to make friends when everyone around has that common interest. check out some of the venues or bars in the area to see if there’s any shows of interest. ive made plenty of friends at Ralph’s specifically

Not in Worcester, but a bit north. We lost electricity when a huge tree at the corner park went down and took the lines with it. But were only without electric for about a day. Street behind ours was without electric for about two weeks. I was keeping my horse at a place that the owner of the property lived there, which was good since the streets were impassable for several days due to downed trees and power lines. A large limb from the property behind ours fell and crushed our chicken coop, leaving a gaping hole in it. So I had to bring the hens into the mudroom for a day or two while we cut the branch up and repaired the coop.
