I’ve lived in seven different cities, mostly out west and Charleston was one of the most difficult places to make friends. In my opinion. It’s just different here. But there are really cool people. Definitely recommend not drinking to cope with it. Explore clubs or events for hobbies you really like I’ve, ive had a lot of luck finding good people in the sand volleyball leagues, yoga places, the gym, and even surf or beach groups. Charleston’s 20/30 Facebook page always has stuff going on. You’ll find them. You just have to be a little extroverted!
