I’ve been thinking a lot about making new friends this week after a reader wrote in to ask a question for the agony aunt column. She wanted to know if I was worried about my social life given I’ve moved from London to my hometown and most of my friends here are in serious relationships or married. To cut a long story short, I am a bit worried but I also know if I make an effort, I’ll find more friends here and actually it’s more the pandemic that is hindering things. While I stand by this, I’ve also been wondering if I am the only one who should be making an effort?
