So its finally hit me that I realise i do not have many friends in general. I only keep in contact with about 5 friends and that is all. The problem is that I work full time 12pm-8pm 7 days a week and after work, I have to take care of my mom and drive her around to do grocery shopping and deeds etc because I am the only one at home whos available at that time. My brother has moved out and my Dad travels around for business trips so I am the only one left to do these chores and run errands.

I have tried to keep in touch with my close friends from before but since everyone is working fulltime right now since they all graduated, everyone is busy therefore our friendship have kinda faded away.

My close friends are also not really outgoing therefore they don't go to house parties or host one making it hard for me also to meet new people. Everyone time I chill with them, its always 1 on 1 (no homo).

I have tried to be "better" friends with my outgoing but not "close" friends but due to us not being very close or know each other well, they also never invited me to their parties or gatherings...

So my question to RS is what can I do to meet new people and make new friends? because I find it really hard to do...

I would prefer to meet more male friends (no homo once again) because they are most likely to share the same interests as me and the reason I don't want to meet more female friends is that they tend to distance away once they get a BF or their friends gossiping about me trying to date them and all that BS

I hope its not too late to form my "circle of friends" (ones who can share laughter and help you out through rough times or be there when you need to talk)

About me:
-25 years old
-work full time
-chinese
-not really outgoing but I don't mind trying new things
-Busy schedule due to me having alot of responsibilities for the family
-middle class (not broke but not rich)
-male

mature responses please and feel free to PM me if its better for you !

thanks so much guys !
