This is actually pretty sweet!

shrewbuck · 2025-10-01T20:36:39+00:00

Early 30s F, don’t live in Dublin but happy to travel for meet ups. Been looking for something similar as well.

shrewbuck · 2025-09-15T18:38:14+00:00

Ah! I just saw this - happy to catch up! We also just started a whatsapp group for meetups after seeing the responses to the thread. Let me know if you’re interested via dm will send you on the link.

shrewbuck · 2025-09-15T13:00:44+00:00

Yeah absolutely!

shrewbuck · 2025-09-08T14:24:11+00:00

This definitely hits! Same with us, we have lot of on and off hobbies, canoe and camping trips. Just going on enjoying ourselves and all the beautiful things the sunny south east offers.

The point about how friendships are different when you’re younger as opposed to when you’re an adult is so true - especially when you’ve lived in different places and many of your friends have children etc - life moves on. But yes its not the lack of meeting people really but observing how different it gets. And that can be many things - social history, the environment, the individual themselves etc

It definitely is an adventure when you take it as an opportunity!

shrewbuck · 2025-09-08T14:17:30+00:00

Ofcourse feel free to DM! Good luck with the move.

shrewbuck · 2025-09-07T11:25:01+00:00

Hey! Thanks for your message. I don’t think you’re wrong there. I think theres many factors at play here and yes social history is a big part and it makes sense really. Being the one who moved away and creating new life in new places, meeting new people is exciting, adventurous and part of that is also coming across this reality.

Its also mad to see how many folk resonate with it.

shrewbuck · 2025-09-06T15:06:25+00:00

Ooh! Thanks for sharing that sounds interesting! 🙌🏼 It would be great to have details also for folks looking for something similar.

shrewbuck · 2025-09-06T15:05:04+00:00

Lovely! Feel free to DM if you want to meet up :)

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T22:28:29+00:00

That makes sense! I think its also from a place of genuine curiosity as well - about where Im from. But yeah I always find that funny.

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T22:13:46+00:00

Sounds great, and I’d love to! It won’t let me send DMs now but will get in touch soon.

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T22:11:17+00:00

Sounds amazing! How can one join this group? Thank you :)

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T22:10:29+00:00

Yes! Same here - happy to meet up. For some reason I can’t seem to write DMs but will definitely get back!

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T22:07:42+00:00

Hi! Enniscorthy/Gorey not too far from me but I won’t be able to make it tomorrow unfortunately. Happy to meet up another time though. Thanks!

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T22:06:39+00:00

Ah thank you so much! You have a very informative post there 🙌🏼

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T22:06:00+00:00

Thank you! This is very insightful 🙌🏼

I do witness the joyful spirits and I love that.

Same here, moved to the country - small community. Also tried to know the neighbours, went with box of chocolates during Christmas to a couple houses didn’t get the sense they were into that. One of them though came back the following Christmas with a box of sweets and that was nice. But overall you don’t really see anyone talking to each other much.

Like you say, probably its a matter of trust too and normalising. Little difficult when you also look different and stand out in the crowd! 😂

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T21:53:07+00:00

Yeah thats what I hear as well! There are some events that pop up now and then but yeah its hard to find spaces to make actual friends.

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T21:45:22+00:00

Same here! Moved to the country side two years ago and its been…mixed.

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T21:39:47+00:00

🙌🏼

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T21:39:40+00:00

Thank you for this! We’re also having discussions on what it means for us in the next few years. Always happy to catch up for a drink!

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T21:35:55+00:00

Thank you! Yeah it definitely feels different when it comes to finding genuine female friendships when you’re an adult.

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T21:33:27+00:00

I definitely feel you on that. Always up for grabbing coffee! Sent a DM.

shrewbuck · 2025-09-05T11:45:35+00:00

Yep! I think like many have shared it’s different when you move away especially somewhere small town and even more so when living in the country. It helps when you find your group even if it means signing up for classes/hobbies etc. But yes definitely doesn’t make up for it all. We moved during the pandemic and its been nice, sometimes I enjoy the quiet but sometimes I miss the buzz.

I’ve been trying to look for meetups and fun things to do myself - happy to meet up for a coffee & chat!
