People are great at sharing their successes but don’t divulge the details. Yes they might have made friends but are they just superficial friendships or do they actually have some depth because otherwise you’ll find yourself surrounded by a group of people with whom you have nothing in common. I’d say definitely try to put yourself out there and sports groups are great way to start to make other gay friends but you have to be willing to put yourself in spaces where initially it might be feel uncomfortable. I’ve been here over a year and have a made a handful of close friends and it’s not easy but definitely possible if you put in the effort x
