Looking for local friends before my screen time report stages an intervention

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi y'all! I’m 33, no kids, and a flight attendant who recently moved here from Southern California for my husband’s job in the city. I’m currently in my “please teach me how to be a functioning local” era. I don’t drink, but I do love food and a good cup of coffee, exploring new places, reading, playing video games, going to the gym and finding random creative outlets before inevitably abandoning them for a new one two weeks later.</p> <p>I also have two dogs, which means I already have roommates, emotional support supervisors, and built in excuses to go outside but I’m hoping to meet actual humans too. I’d love to find low pressure friends to grab coffee, wander around, find cute spots, talk books/games/life, or just mutually agree that making friends as an adult is weirdly hard.</p> <p>Are there any local book clubs, hobby groups, coffee meetups, or other good ways to meet people around here that don’t feel painfully awkward? I’m open to suggestions and mild social discomfort.</p> <p>Edit: we’re in Bushwick :) as far as activities, I am literally open to any and all things! I enjoy challenging myself and trying new things. </p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/kiediddy"> /u/kiediddy </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Brooklyn/comments/1sy2gpk/looking_for_local_friends_before_my_screen_time/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Brooklyn/comments/1sy2gpk/looking_for_local_friends_before_my_screen_time/">[comments]</a></span>
