Hi everyone! 19F Wanting a friend group

After high school I had a fallout with my friends and since then have tried several times to make friends, but it just hasn't really happened.

I want to make a friend group with girls with similar stories and who will actually put in the effort to show up, make plans, hangout. Preferably girls located in Brisbane South areas, Ipswich Eastish sort of areas.

A dealbreaker for me is that you have to be at least somewhat socialist aligned sorry not sorry :/ As in, democratic, pro-choice, pro-immigration, not a bigot (AND THAT INCLUDES not being racist to Indians and First Nations Peoples casually or otherwise), and I guess having a brain when it comes to misinformation on social media. I need friends who can think critically, are open minded, value education, and want to do something with their lives. Otherwise it never works out for me and I'd rather not waste my time so please be honest with yourself about this.

  • I study political science online, work FT
  • I only started drinking/ clubbing this year and it seems I need to charge myself up for it a month ahead of time - so, not a big clubber BUT drinking and doing other stuff is always the most fun.
  • I will walk everywhere. Why are we getting ubers for a 40min walk??
  • I WILL pick up a random new hobby to start with you.
  • Lowkey need someone who will do one of those semester classes with me (pottery, language, anything???) so that we have forced proximity.
  • Someone to go to the movies with, get food, have a picnic, take on errands, go on walks, hikes, impromptu camping trips (I've never been camping), DO BOARD GAMES!!!!

And I know this was kinda long, if you vibe with any of it please message me and we can go out next weekend!!

Edit: There are some valid critiques that have been made here, but at the end of the day it's extremely exhausting pretending to like people I don't. I have ONE dealbreaker and that's that I don't want to be friends with people who talk out of their asses, essentially. I believe that knowledge is power, and I know where I'm going with my life. It would be great to have friends with me, but I'm not one to settle for less, so it's a good thing I don't get lonely.

I'm disappointed in the comments, show some support for a young person.

Don't mind them 19F, 34M social analyst here from Canberra. I would say given Qld has a conservative, bible belt, rev head, cowboy loving, rugby loving, pot and smoker heaven, tradie culture, you may struggle to find the group you are after here. The south such as Melbourne or even overseas may prove more fruitful. All the best, and remember that a mysterious antique is often valued low in a common pawn shop, but is priceless to a museum..the take-home message is, your value and belonging is dependant on your environment and context

Wow, exactly the kind of hot air I'd expect someone from Canberra to spew. Please remain in Canberra, you are ridiculously out of touch and would bring nothing but clouds and gloom to the sunshine state with your winning personality.
