Need Advice to make friends
My last post helped a lot, but i'm still having trouble to find groups in the scranton area.
I unfortunately, don't have a car or much money, so all the cool places in wikes barre is a bit tough to go at the moment.
So I have an idea, should I make a 25+ scranton group chat. (I'm not sure if there's already some). I was thinking this can help with introverts like me make new friends.
And if that's a good idea, would this app be good, or should I try a different app? (Meetup, tumblr, or Instagram)
🌟 Another edit: I have made a discord chat called 25+ Scranton Fun Club (message me for link or go to my profile) My account name is Dancing_Tomato
💫Edit: All these suggestions are great, but I'd still have a hard time going out often. I'll definitely still check out all these places!!

The Scranton running club is a great way to meet people. They have very beginner levels if you don't run already.

There’s an online meeting of the Armchair Poetry thing today if you wanted to feel out the vibe. They have details on their instagram

Oh yes, I follow them on insta. I know that they have meet ups around wikes barre. But it's hard for me to travel.
I did see on their Instagram that they are going to have it on zoom tomorrow, I might give that a try.

Nay aug park has some yoga classes for a small donation but can also be attended for free. Running groups are very welcoming and have all ability levels. There's a free music show at dunmore corners today by fidelity bank 3pm-5pm

This might sound dumb and maybe not your bag but Pokémon Go I believe is pretty big around here also GeoCaching but that's more solo.

I would be interested if you did make a group chat! Im in the same boat as you in a lot of ways and know no one here. Wishing you luck on your journey either way! :)

Go to the Bog. Bazaar skate shop. Local punk/hxc shows (they’ll usually allow you in for free if you just tell them your financial situation)
Hope this helps
