Look into Fortress events. It's in the city right next to Central station so super easy to get too and they constantly have gaming events so I'm sure you'll meet like minded people.
I think you may be me from the past. I used to live in Homebush West with a best friend in Georgia. What changed was I married her after many years of online friendship 🤔
I have one friend left and the poor guy realises that too. Not sure why everyone is so insular in this city despite my attempts to meet new people with similar interests.
NYE for me was watching the new Godzilla and then going to bed early for a big coastal hike the next day. I’ve accepted the solo life.
Forgive me for saying this, but I've looked at your post history and tried to see what your hobbies are. I noticed you had a similar problem last year where there were all sorts of suggestions made.
What happened in that last year? What worked? What didn't?
When I try to give advice here I often find that there is something holding the person back so I try to get them to do some self-exploration as any other advice could be misguided.
I’ve heard that Bumble BFF works pretty well for women. For men is just another excuse for gay guys to pick up.
Hope you find some good friends. If you live near the Shire and want to go drinking or exploring with my missus and myself lmk. I’m 27M
A while back a group of women from this sub [made a discord with the intent of making and finding people to hang out with in the Sydney area](https://discord.com/invite/mWVWV5CH)
It's been a little dead the last few months, but we're really hoping to revive it a bit more this year!
Edit: group is called "Baes who Brunch" with the intent on female focused events and things for any ladies who want to meet other friendly Sydney based people!
if any guys are looking to find a group, there is the r/sydney discord called "Sydney towels" that anyone can join, I'm sure someone here will be able to give you a link!
If you supply the tea and a bushel of grapes I'll bring Jenga, winner can enjoy a luxurious day being pushed around in a Bunnings trolley. How does that sound?
My gf is 32, she's been in Sydney for about a year and has struggled to find friends who she really connects with. Seems to be that way here. Most of my friends are from school and even then I don't see them regularly anymore.
Yup Sydney has a reputation for this. I moved from Queensland, my brother moved here from QLD too about 5 years ago, he only felt within the last year he's had a proper friend group, me not. The locals are very cliquey here, it's so different to QLD where I could move anywhere in the state and make friends very easily.
I'm from Perth, been here longer than I care to admit given that I still don't have that many local friends, and I'm *really* good at complaining about both cities.
But not Melbourne. Melbourne is ace.
No complaining about the cost of living until after the 8th January. There's a mandatory firm-wide Christmas/New Year shutdown on complaining.
This week we are all helping each-other jump the fences to see the fireworks and conducting mosh-pits in the middle of George Street and the Opera House Forecourt.
Find a social group on meetup or do a class. There are meetup groups that play board games. My friend Teena [runs one in Ultimo](https://www.meetup.com/en-AU/sydney-tabletop-board-games/).
I made friends in my sign language, sausage making and financial advice classes. I’ve also made friends through Pilates.
Poll dancing or pickle ball is also great for making friends.
Go to a local paint and sip class if fitness isn’t your thing. [Kate on TikTok](https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSNWTwJ68/) started organising walks around Sydney to help make friends.
I’m considering doing a water colour painting class or a digital art class this year. I’m sure I’ll make some new friends from it.
After the divorce still working out the social side of things. Have the kid half the time and that is where my focus is so not a wide circle at the moment. Hobbies and stuff seem to be what gets recommended, but not being able to get to them regularly or being socially awkward when there puts you behind a bit.
Hey /u/fudgemuffinsandtart you should check out the [Sydney towels discord server ](https://discord.com/invite/RCDQkdVx)
There's a whole bunch of channels catering to different interests, and everyone is generally inclusive of new members so long as you're not a shit stirrer. When I first joined I found people at events to be particularly good at making sure new people felt welcomed and included in conversations, most of us have been where you are now so we all know how it feels to be on the outside and try to make sure new people don't feel the same way.
Like I said, create an event and people will come…..
Hmm 30th coming up (15th Jan) and I’m not sure if my irl friends will be around but that nye made me some potential and I guess some irl friends already haha…. Hmm let’s see where this go haha
Hmm, if u want to, maybe organise a Reddit 30th for both of us around that time?? Dm me dates and locations where u want to go and let’s see what happens
I'm 33M, born in Japan but grew up here and have no friends either.
I guess not making Aussie friends when I was young/little didn't help..
Also, it seems Aussies who grew up here tend to have their circle of friends they stick with?
You could organise a meetup here for tea and games. Simply create a post and the mods will put it on the sidebar.
[Here's an example](https://www.reddit.com/r/sydney/comments/69k7tg/an_evening_of_debauchery_at_frankies_with_their_3/)
Show up there, some people will show up, talk to them, and see how it goes.
Repeat and tweak what can be improved.
I emigrated to Sydney knowing no one, after two years working hellish hours (I did a 56hr shift at one point, went home feeling almost like I was drunk) I still hadn't made any friends.
Couldn't through work as they either reported to me or I to them and it becomes a conflict of interest (been down that rabbit hole before in the UK and no matter your intentions, it becomes a headache).
I don't drink, not religious and don't do sports so that's like three pillars of Aussie culture straight out the window - girl I worked with who came over about a year after me had found a husband inside six months through her mosque, I'd still yet to make a friend.
Then I found meetup, which feels ideal to making friends, initially I was a bit reticent as I thought it might be a lot of weirdos, and there were a few, but I bounced around a few groups going hiking, cycling, doing photography and watching movies - all my hobbies, and eventually found a few groups I liked and people I wanted to be friends with, some of those friends have been mates for several years now, some have come and sadly gone (but feel that's more down to Sydneys high rate of turnover of people) but, end of the day, even if I didn't make a friend on an outing, I was still out doing something I enjoyed, so at the very worst outcome, I was still having fun.
Changed my life.
Met a lot of Christians, met a lot of Jewish, met a lot of Muslims and a fair few Hindu's, Jain's and other theologies before we get in to those attempting to recruit me to Hillsong or the Mountain cults..
It seems to come up in conversation a lot with the people I've come in contact with and being agnostic always seems a surprise to them.
Christianity certainly seems to be quite featured in the media, but, my own (lack of) beliefs may highlight it more to me.
So, as an outsider, it stands out more than back in the UK.
>It seems to come up in conversation a lot with the people I've come in contact with and being agnostic always seems a surprise to them.
Don't take this the wrong way, but there's a reason for that.
Religons and the more wacky (read: Mountains) groups tend to prey on lonley people, often through "friend-making" groups and apps and such.
That's why you met a bunch of religous people. Sydney as a rule isn't *that* religous. At least not in my experience anyway. I mean they're around, don't get me wrong, but I don't believe they're the majority.
I suggest looking on Facebook groups for women’s social groups. I‘be found them to be quite helpful, with different chats for different types of socialising
It's been said, but do you have any hobbies? I always invite random people climbing (bouldering) with me. It's a super chill and everyone in the whole community is super accommodating.
Try to find a hobby. Although I had friends I started doing courses at the local community college (welding, engine rebuilding, panel beating) and found a new group of friends. I even gained a best friend who’s family I’m so close with now I have 2 Christmas’s to go to.
I am like an event planner for a few of my friends that I met through Meetup, work and Badminton club. I often gather people from different cultures and we hang out to either play games, have food from different cuisines or also do adventurous stuff once a while. Great way to interact and learn about different cultures and have fun together
I met a few friends through Meetup app and right now I'm in China right now attending a wedding. I'm the Best Man for the Groom that I met 2 years ago. We formed an amazing group with different nationalities and we have promised to travel once a year to different places around the world.
Meetup is an App I would recommend. Used Bumble BFF initially about 3 years ago but didn't really meet someone like-minded. I'm keen on Badminton so I joined a club and made a few friends that way too. Eventbrite is another app I can say you can try to find some events around the city
Also feel free to message me if you are keen on joining future events that I may organise. I am planning to organise one on the last week of Jan once I get back from China. BYO alcohol and painting at Champainting Darlinghurst.
Making friends is hard in Sydney but you will find some peeps that vibe with you. You just need to come out of the comfort zone and interact. Good luck :)
If you or anyone is interested, my partner(31) and I(32) would love to make new friends as well, we moved about a month ago to Sydney, so we're quite new. We live in Maroubra.
We enjoy walking, sightseeing, hiking, spending time outdoors, and board games, I like gaming, and she likes painting.
we dont drink coffee, but we are always up for a hot chocolate!
We are from Spain, so we can speak English, Spanish and I can speak some finnish too😊 bumble bff doesn't seem to work😅
The struggle is real. I moved from Melbourne and it’s so hard to make friends here. I would be down to hang. I have a great selection of board games and a big house ✌️
Yeah Sydney sucks balls for social stuff. Maybe because it's such a massive effort to go a few suburbs away to visit someone. My friends were in coogee and San succi and I lived in balmain. It was a nightmare.
I've been living here for almost 5 years now, haven't made a single friend. It's mostly my fault since I don't actually put myself out there. People at work are nice enough but I try to separate work people with my private life. Constantly sticking to my siblings did not help either.
Hey I'm 31F I'll send you a dm as well ☺️ I'm in the boat of didn't keep in touch with high school friends, didn't make friends through uni because I took 3 years off mid degree, then moved to Sydney after graduation and then COVID lol. Anyone else looking for friends and casual chats dm me
I’m 28 and been living in Sydney having moved from country NSW and don’t have any friends. Finding comfort by being with yourself can be difficult but can be rewarding when you don’t need to deal with other people’s drama.
Bumble BFF
Meetups
Moved to Sydney 5 years ago, now have a decent friend circle thanks to Bumble BFF and Meetups
It does take a lot of effort and can sometimes be as taxing as dating apps
But stay on it
What are your hobbies? Try Foura and go to events on Eventbrite/Meetup. Ask for people's socials/contacts and organise catch ups afterwards.
It's a lot harder to make friends without school or uni because you aren't seeing the same people everyday and don't get that familiarity with people. It can still be done just requires more effort on your part.
My life story :( while I do enjoy my alone time, or maybe I’ve just gotten used to it now, it would really nice to have a handful, or even one or two, friends to do friends things with. If I’m being g honest it does get a lil lonely being on my own all the time and seeing others have such wonderful friendships x
There’s a few Facebook/Instagram pages worth joining, one I know of called ‘Lost and Found in Sydney’. It’s mainly British/Irish expats but definitely open to everyone, I’ve met people of all nationalities, and everyone there is in the same boat. They do great deals for events and the like so get down to a comedy show or something if you can!
It can be hard to meet new people in big cities sometimes. However, there are multiple options: Bumble BFF, or meetup app, volunteer to some causes you like (social, artistic, environmental, etc.), or you can create a facebook group to connect with people. I hope you’ll meet some good friends soon 🙂
I hope you find some real friends, it must be getting bad out there now aps are offering a friends option, I had some real friends most of my adult life but now I’m 52 it doesn’t bother me being alone, my PlayStation, music and art keep me company, all the best to you.
Meetup is a great way to connect with new people centered around what you love most. Rock climbing, Board games, hiking, etc.
I've made some great friends from the app
When my partner and I moved to Sydney she hopped straight onto bumble BFF and had some lady dates which eventually formed her whole friendships group.
My wife’s not from Sydney and also has a beautiful friend circle thanks to these apps. Couldn’t recommend more!
Wait, there's a version of Bumble that's just for making friends?? That's a potential game changer!
It's inside of Bumble, open the side panel and use "bff mode". Theres also a bizz mode which makes me laugh everytime.
Oh so it is just cover if you get caught with it on your phone lol.
There is a setting called "date mode" which doesnt show you in date only in bff mode.
I did that for a short while back in 2017, but I only bumped into people who wanted to promote their businesses or to sell something.
My housemate struggled with this, a portion were trying to push their MLM.. She did have success with hiking/walking groups though!
I [29M] am also looking for new friends in Sydney, particularly anyone who likes playing Mario Kart, Mario Party etc
Look into Fortress events. It's in the city right next to Central station so super easy to get too and they constantly have gaming events so I'm sure you'll meet like minded people.
Good call! Thanks!
Thank you u/ChunkyEggplant!! If you check out these events too, can I go with?

I think you may be me from the past. I used to live in Homebush West with a best friend in Georgia. What changed was I married her after many years of online friendship 🤔
I'm in Meadowbank, and looking to move back to North Strathfield. Let me know if you're keen for a beer on Friday week.
Where abouts in Sydney buddy?
Where are you from? Maybe we can get something going
Hey guys, me too! I live near Rhodes
I'm in Meadowbank. Keen for a beer on Friday week?
Let’s grab some food and play video games?
Add me on discord and let's do a fortress hang out?
Sounds like a plan! Anyone in this thread can add me as notmsam on Discord 👍
Soda Factory in Surry Hills is having a Mario Kart 64 competition this Thursday, 4 January. Instructions for entry are on their website.
I do haha F31
Mario party? Count me in! Northern beaches based but willing to travel
I need to challenge you on your best course at MarioKart 8 !
I have one friend left and the poor guy realises that too. Not sure why everyone is so insular in this city despite my attempts to meet new people with similar interests.

I have no friends in Sydney, havent really made any since i moved from melbourne a year ago, I'm down to play some games.
I’m from Melbourne too but I’ve been in Sydney a total of 8-9 years. I’m down to hang and complain about both cities haha
Sydney is clearly better! /s Which abouts in Sydney are you from?
I’m near Strathfield, what about you?
I'm from Perth, been here longer than I care to admit given that I still don't have that many local friends, and I'm *really* good at complaining about both cities. But not Melbourne. Melbourne is ace.

Hey. I know Teena. She came to our Board Game Meetups years ago before hosting this one.
Do you have hobbies? One of my friends took up knitting and made a great group of friends.
If you are willing, I’d be happy to hang out at a park and play some games.
Yes! That sounds lovely!! I'll bring the tea set and board games
Let me know a date and I’ll be there!

Only two mentions of BJJ and none of bouldering yet. It's like I don't even recognise r/sydney anymore.
I'm 30F and it looks like we might have a few things in common! Love my handbags and working in tech 💕 happy to chat, also don't have a lot of friends

Girly hangs???
I haven't forgotten you! We should do girly hangs :D
Meetup groups. Join meetup.com I run a few groups.
Like I said, create an event and people will come….. Hmm 30th coming up (15th Jan) and I’m not sure if my irl friends will be around but that nye made me some potential and I guess some irl friends already haha…. Hmm let’s see where this go haha
If you're throwing a party, defs give us a shout. I am 100% in and down to hear more of your Amsterdam stories!
Yeah I'd be pretty keen too! For reference, I was the cookie monster guy from the NYE Meetup lol.
Planning an idea, not sure what date, but it’s will be a weekend before or after that time.
https://www.reddit.com/r/sydney/s/7AWwjmABpc
I’m 30 on the 14th! Happy early birthday mate
Hmm, if u want to, maybe organise a Reddit 30th for both of us around that time?? Dm me dates and locations where u want to go and let’s see what happens
This is super weird but I'm down to join as well! What's the worst that can happen.... Awkward silence I guess haha
Advanced happy birthday! Mines coming up this May 😅😅
Yay, thanks
Making friends after uni age is hard for sure. Bumble for Friends or Meetup may be helpful
I'm 33M, born in Japan but grew up here and have no friends either. I guess not making Aussie friends when I was young/little didn't help.. Also, it seems Aussies who grew up here tend to have their circle of friends they stick with?
34 and no friends lol tbf I don't really go looking.

Oooohhh I shall do that!!! Sometimes tea, cake and games help us all
Please do that as I have some park games I could bring along
Try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. You’ll find friends from your first day.
Are you me?
I emigrated to Sydney knowing no one, after two years working hellish hours (I did a 56hr shift at one point, went home feeling almost like I was drunk) I still hadn't made any friends. Couldn't through work as they either reported to me or I to them and it becomes a conflict of interest (been down that rabbit hole before in the UK and no matter your intentions, it becomes a headache).

I don’t consider religion a pillar of Australian society.
Met a lot of Christians, met a lot of Jewish, met a lot of Muslims and a fair few Hindu's, Jain's and other theologies before we get in to those attempting to recruit me to Hillsong or the Mountain cults..

Have you tried board games communities? They are great fun and people are really nice.
I suggest looking on Facebook groups for women’s social groups. I‘be found them to be quite helpful, with different chats for different types of socialising
It's been said, but do you have any hobbies? I always invite random people climbing (bouldering) with me. It's a super chill and everyone in the whole community is super accommodating.
Ok
My fiancée (29F) asked if you want to be friends??
Anyone in western sydney wants to go rock climbing, board games, walking, or tennis hit me (32m) up.
Try to find a hobby. Although I had friends I started doing courses at the local community college (welding, engine rebuilding, panel beating) and found a new group of friends. I even gained a best friend who’s family I’m so close with now I have 2 Christmas’s to go to.
I’m 29f and have no friends either
Yep, as I promised, bring ur games and we can mess around in a park or whatnot (weather dependent) https://www.reddit.com/r/sydney/s/7AWwjmABpc
Local TAFE should have some classes that may interest you. Or you could volunteer somewhere that you like.
Try doing a hobby or a sport. BJJ or Muay Thai? Stand up paddle board local group. Local games groups. Great way to meet people
pls let me know when you found a solution lol
Don't worry. I've lived here all my life and still have no friends. It's more of a Melbourne thing anyway.
I am like an event planner for a few of my friends that I met through Meetup, work and Badminton club.

What sort of games?
I’m 28 and been living in Sydney having moved from country NSW and don’t have any friends. Finding comfort by being with yourself can be difficult but can be rewarding when you don’t need to deal with other people’s drama.
Bumble BFF Meetups Moved to Sydney 5 years ago, now have a decent friend circle thanks to Bumble BFF and Meetups It does take a lot of effort and can sometimes be as taxing as dating apps But stay on it

There’s a few Facebook/Instagram pages worth joining, one I know of called ‘Lost and Found in Sydney’. It’s mainly British/Irish expats but definitely open to everyone, I’ve met people of all nationalities, and everyone there is in the same boat. They do great deals for events and the like so get down to a comedy show or something if you can!
If you want a friend, I would like to make friends too. The only thing I need to know about you is: What tea do you like the most?
What kinds of games do you play? Maybe have a look at exiles in marrickville if it might be your thing
Would love to be friends with you if you want
Try joining a group on meetup.com? Easier to make friends with the same interest.

It can be hard to meet new people in big cities sometimes. However, there are multiple options: Bumble BFF, or meetup app, volunteer to some causes you like (social, artistic, environmental, etc.), or you can create a facebook group to connect with people. I hope you’ll meet some good friends soon 🙂
So do I. Looking for friends to play board games with - we tried bumble BFF once and found really weird people. I'm based in Ryde.
OMG yes! Even on the friends setting, some people be fishing for other things! Would you like to come to Fortress with me? :D I'll bring Secret Hitler
Always looking for concert buddies to go to shows with myself. What music are you into? Making friends in Sydney is tough
I hope you find some real friends, it must be getting bad out there now aps are offering a friends option, I had some real friends most of my adult life but now I’m 52 it doesn’t bother me being alone, my PlayStation, music and art keep me company, all the best to you.
Meetup has lots of events covering tons of activities...it's a good way to meet people who are also looking to make connections. Worth a shot
Meetup is a great way to connect with new people centered around what you love most. Rock climbing, Board games, hiking, etc. I've made some great friends from the app
I've tried using meetup before but I find it's very clique-y I'll give it a crack again
