My bf is struggling with making friends. He works two jobs and is in engineering so majority of his classmates are “losers” in his words. He doesn’t really have time to go to clubs or really do anything outside of school/work. What can I do to help him?

Tell him to join a club in engineering, they don’t even have to talk in the beginning just engage and see if he fw people in that club. That way they don’t have to deal with stupid people but also not losers. We have this one club at school where we build cool stuff and I like it. Also sometimes you have to let other people get comfortable in social settings esp engineers so tell him to be a little considerate of that.

Mine is super shy and doesn’t really talk to people in clubs so I’m following to see

you can help him by telling him to be less judgmental and standoffish, and not to write people off so easily

I tell mine to go join a club and talk to people but he’s shy and he feels bad bc he’s a senior transfer and feels like everyone already has their established groups. I wish they had facebook groups for men bc that’s how I’ve met a lot of my friends

I don’t really have any friends other than my lifelong bestie so I’m kind of in the same position, but I have people I know from class that I talk to some so idk. It does seem like it’s way harder to make friends as a guy if you’re not in a frat/sports team

Thank you! He’s so stubborn and writes people off so quickly I’m trying to break that habit. He went to clubs last year it’s just with his jobs he doesn’t have the time/energy to balance work/school/clubs. I might see if I can find any other cool clubs he might be interested in that better fit his schedule

If you just want him to leave the house, I love the gym, swimming or playing a sport. That’s nice if he just wants to chill maybe make friends but be able to do something alone. Hope he makes friends soon! Another thing might be just inviting 2-3 friends of yours with their s/o’s and watching a movie+chatting is nice too.

No I love being with him! He’s been feeling lonely and idk a great way to help which is why I made the post. He’s not very sporty but does like working out so I might try to encourage him to go more. I could also do double dates with my bestie but I feel like our bfs are too different to be friends lol. Thank you so much!! :)

"to make sure their bfs are socialized" makes it sound more like a bunch of dog owners giving their dogs enrichment 😂

Literally I know dogs that are well behaved than some of the men I’ve encountered out in the wild
