thank you Marie! will look forward to the podcast.

Keep going to this group! It is great that you are doing that. I think a lot of people have this same problem. Large groups can be a little tough to crack through. I am going to talk about this subject on my podcast tonight. Many people can relate. Thank you for the idea!

Hi Marie. I have a question. I recently started going to this meetup group i found online for people my age. How do i make deep friendships with some of these people and make more 1-on-1 focus with certain people in the group and eventually get to hang out 1-on-1 with the certain people i get along with. i find it hard to make deep friendships when it is a large group. but maybe if there were only 2 or 3 people total i feel more at ease. right now i don't always see the same people every time i go, but some are regulars, including the organizer. i don't feel close to anyone yet. how long will it take for someone to become my close friend? i'm sometimes tempted to give up and stop going to this social grorup, but i try to force myself to go in hopes that i will make a good friend one day. i don't have many friends so this is why i started going to this group. i love your daily podcasts! thank you.
