Its hard in Maine. I lived there for like 5 years and have no lasting friendships. I live in florida now and know all my neighbors and have surf friends.

Isn’t there any hope?

I made a bunch of friends through sports in my late 20s/early 30s. It can be done.

Not really I work seasonally in Maine and leave in the off season because it's too lonely (also born and raised here) Maine is beautiful but not the place to meet people. Currently traveling in Colombia and meeting plenty of young like minded individuals!

Agree. Anybody who says otherwise is gaslighting you or trying to get you to go to a puppet show.

The fact that people are recommending you meet young people at church is proof enough, it's a trap.

If you're asking how to make friends in Maine, don't take advice from people who couldn't figure it out themselves lol
