Sorry you're going through this. Life is not over, but everything has changed. You'll adjust to friendships, and going out again as a single, but give yourself space. Two months is not a long time to recover from something like this. You'll recover at your own pace. My break up was 5 months ago and I'm far from over it. I'm only just beginning to piece myself together. Wishing you well.

Its ironic, I'm in a similar situation. I have been to 6 different meetup groups. All were ok, but I was uncomfortable too. For me, if I don't work through the uncomfortable feelings, I will isolate and spiral down.

I found mindfulness meditation a lifesaver. It's hard work in the beginning. My mind kept drifting. It brings me to a state of calmness and stillness I have never felt before. I'm in Utah if you want to hit up a meetup together.

Thanks, Im in Colorado.. i should do more meditation too. What kind of meetups do you like to do?

I'm not familiar with meet-up groups, but I've found it helpful to identify my interests and find groups or activities that align with those. This helps connect with other people who have mutual interests or values. Examples: If you like yoga, go to a yoga class; If you like to read, join a book club; Start going to church (if you don't already) as it provides a positive network where you can go to small groups, bible studies, etc. You have to be really proactive at this stage of life, unlike high school or college days where you could naturally meet people because you were around them all day. So reach out and invite people (co-workers, neighbors, etc.) out to coffee to build new friendships. Hugs :)
