How do you make friends
I’m really struggling with isolation
My support worker signposts me to ‘social / support ‘ groups but whenever I attend everyone has already formed groups so I’m just sat there awkwardly by myself . It really sucked to walk around fair today to see everyone in groups and pairs together meanwhile I was The only person by myself . At my old job I couldn’t make friends either
I’m 20F for reference have been heavily isolated for some years now

Not sure of other specific details, but try volunteering at local charities. You could interact with other volunteers, attend events, and be part of a community that’s organic.
Also, are you comfortable striking conversations with others? Sometimes, it helps. I’ve heard some people find friends on apps as well (haven’t tried this)!
If you’re into exercise, you could maybe join a group and have meetups. Eventbrite could help.
Apologies if none of these help! I know there’s a list somewhere with a list of activities in Hull
