How do I enjoy living in Liverpool as someone struggling?
Hi all,
I'm having a hard time here in Liverpool and am looking for some advice/support.
I moved here >2 years ago for work, in my 30s, single, and found the move hard.
I thought my mood would improve after I'd made friends and explored the city, but that never happened. I haven't faced adjustment issues like this before despite moving across the UK a fair bit.
I've attended meetups, book clubs, & the gym to develop a social circle with no luck. I've gone to coffee shops and gigs and restaurants and the parks, but they're not enjoyable to me alone. I feel like an outsider and am uncomfortable even going outside now.
Everyone here loves Liverpool. The people are friendly, the architecture is class, it's a great night out etc. I know. I want to enjoy it too but dread most days.
Does anyone have any advice on how to enjoy Liverpool? Liverpool has so much to love about it and I want to love it too.
Thank you for reading if you got this far. I'm not trying to whinge. Ta
