I have always met interesting people, no matter where I go, before and after beginning transition. I tried being a hermit once before I transitioned, and it was no good. I find that I have been received by others just as well this way, as I was before, if not better. I have about the same number of friends now, but am closer to more of them. It could have to do with age, the fact that I am not hiding, and maybe because women tend to forge tighter bonds.

That is very significant! Openly living my womanhood, I felt freer to be close to people. Especially other women. Poor men don't know what they're missing.

Well my best friend just moved away today

So I need to work at this social life thing, even if I am only going to be living here for another 4 months.  Either way I don't think I'd be able to make it that long without friends to hang out with.  Any ideas on where I can attempt to try to make new friends?
