I'm 45. White English only.Was chronically homeless since 2006.

For caught up in being a fool.

Worked so hard on this tough guy image in order to disseminate the hard truth that I can't handle the truth.

Now, as of 04/2024 & By the grace of God, I got subsidized housing (SRO) in East Boston in a landmark building with a broken plaque with illegible words written and fading text that says something like " est.. 1847, first crack house in East Boston"

(I'm not kidding.)

Anyways, I'm perfectly healthy, physically, however mentally , I'm resilient but a little sensitive to dealing with public like restaurants etc.

I have no problem with working with people my experience with work generally speaking has been with restaurants and every experience I've had with that type of work burns me out and I'm already burnt out

I'm looking for some type of entry level manual labor position that doesn't require a degree I have a GED as far as a criminal record is concerned that's irrelevant because it's been over 10 years since I've been arrested so I might as well say that I have no criminal record because legislation that former Governor deval Patrick pushed through seals one's criminal record I believe after eight years.

ANY TIPS WOULD BE MUCH OF LIES PLEASE DON'T TELL ME TO GO TO MASS HIRE CUZ I ALREADY KNOW THAT.

ON a side note I pushed an application through to(mrc) Massachusetts rehabilitation commission.

Yes excuse me headphones over here but they'll be a little bit of weight and formality but I should be able to get help going to college

The transition of going from the street to housing and living in a building where no one works or has ever worked and and the drama that comes with has been a full-time job I'm done with procrastinating and and making full effort !!!

Where are y'all finding book clubs lately? Anything good? I'd love to join one that focuses on fantasy and speculative fiction, but open to whatever as long as it's fun and laidback. Bonus points if we read books by queer authors, but not required! Just wanting to nerd out about plots, characters, etc. with cool peeps.

At the supermarket, put my stuff on the conveyor, went to grab something while the other person ahead finished up. Came back, person still finishing paying.

In that time someone definitely 27-30 years old came in, some normal looking guy, whatever.

Me: Hey man mind if I get by *gesturing infront of him*? Just had to grab something real quick.

Him: Dead stare. No words. Slowly looks at his cart. Slowly pulls it back.

Me: Thanks sorry about that

Him: Silent. Dead stare. No words.

Literally: Does Gen Z just not interact as social human beings?

It was so.....weird...It really does feel like Gen Z are zombies who don't know how to do small talk, chit chat, or really anything light with strangers. Even at work it's similar. Like a combo of social death and inner death.

Gen Z, what is going through your heads? Is this just normal, that we don't speak with strangers any more?

Not sure the very best way to go about this as I just set up my account right now, but really just hoping to find a pair of reasonable tickets for this Sunday night (May 24) Bruce show in Boston for my wife and I if at all possible. I just turned 57 few days ago if anyone out there is interested in helping a good guy out in honor of my birthday--or just if you feel like being nice!!! My wife and I would be very nice & cool people to sit next to in case you have an extra pair to sell at or very close to face value--we would be incredibly happy to& grateful if so, thanks so very much for your serious consideration as it is tremendously appreciated!!!

Kindly, Doug & Stephanie

I’m thinking of starting a group for young adults with back pain in the Boston area and wanted to gather interest! Back pain has greatly impacted my life (I can’t work and spend most of my days in pain) and I thought it would be nice to meet once a week or every other week outside (now that it’s nice out) and either try to walk (I can’t sit because of back pain…) or like lay down outside and just discuss things that are or aren’t working for people in their back pain journey.

Back pain is so isolating and it really feels like you are the only one experiencing something like this sometimes

Let me know if there is any interest and I can think how to plan something

This year I’m ready and willing to just do all the heights things, I want to sky dive, I want to BASE jump, I want to boulder, I want to climb some rock faces and maybe just maybe one day free solo something if I ever attain that level of skill or comfort, if you’re involved in these things at all please reach out to me, this isn’t a trend or a phase for me and I’m quite serious and furthermore climbers just seem to be my people.

I will road trip anywhere with just about anyone who shares these common interests, I’d rather be eating clif bars and climbing and hiking and swimming all day with anyone who’s into this too rather than going to overpriced restaurants that’s not my idea of life at all or spending the day shopping. I’m not afraid of real life.

I’ve never been drunk and I don’t do anything that doesn’t help my body.

P.s. I know there are little climbing gyms and that’s cute and everything but I want to be outside breathing natural air with the breeze and sun around me and more importantly that just doesn’t feel real and how exactly does climbing NS grabbing man made fixtures prepare me in any other way but exercise. Not interested.

Anyone open to go to trivia tonight? There’s one at the SAMUEL ADAMS BREWERY

How many people are willing to come? Lets make this a socializing event.

🍷 Vino Days Wine Around: Summer Edition | Eataly Boston | Back Bay | Thu 5/21, 6–8pm | Ticketed Eataly's summer wine-around is the best central-Boston wine tasting I found for Thursday, with a walkaround format that makes it more social than a seated class.

🧀 Get Memorial Day Ready! Cheese Tasting + Wine Samples | Wakefield | 6:30–8pm | $65+ This is a very on-theme long-weekend tasting: six cheeses selected for Memorial Day entertaining, paired with wine samples and hosting tips. It is outside the city, but strong enough to include for anyone willing to make a short North Shore-adjacent trip.

🍇 Free Wine Tastings | VinoDiVino | Brookline | 4–8pm | Free Classic! Never gets old.

🎤 The 2026 Boston AAPI Comedy Festival | Roslindale | Thu 5/21–Sat 5/23, multiple shows | Ticketed Rozzie Square Theater's AAPI Comedy Festival brings three days of stand-up, improv, music, storytelling, and magic to Roslindale.

⚾ Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins | Fenway Park | 7:10pm | Ticketed Friday night at Fenway is the obvious classic-Boston start to the weekend. It works especially well if you want dinner or drinks in Fenway before the game, and it kicks off a three-game home series against Minnesota.

🎙️ Leslie Odom Jr. with the Boston Pops | Back Bay | 7:30pm | Ticketed Leslie Odom Jr. with the Boston Pops is the polished Friday-night concert pick: Broadway pedigree, Symphony Hall setting, and a more dressed-up option than most long-weekend events. Great for a date night or visiting-family plan.

💃 Welcome Summer / Limani Summer Balkan Party | Seaport | 10pm–2am | Ticketed For a late-night Seaport plan, Boston Balkan Nights is hosting a summer kickoff party at Limani with a 10pm start and 2am finish. This one is best for a group that wants dancing and a high-energy nightlife setup rather than a sit-down show.

---

📅 Saturday 5/23

📮 Boston 2026 World Expo / World Stamp Show | Seaport | Sat 5/23–Sat 5/30 | Free / registration recommended This is much bigger than a stamp show: an eight-day international expo tied to America's 250th, with postal history, design, collectors, exhibits, dealers, ceremonies, and family-friendly programming. Opening weekend includes USPS First Day ceremonies, making it a surprisingly good history/design/collectibles pick.

🦸 Wicked Comic Con | Seaport | 10am–5pm | Free tickets One of the best free indoor events of the weekend: Artist Alley, comics, collectibles, panels, cosplay, kids programming, and a very accessible Seaport location.

🛍️ Greenway Artisan Market | Rose Kennedy Greenway | Downtown / Waterfront | 11am–5pm | Free A reliable pop-up market option with 50+ local artists and makers along the Greenway. It is easy to pair with the North End, Seaport, the Aquarium area, a beer garden, or a waterfront walk.

🐝 World Bee Day Celebration 2026 | Fenway Victory Gardens | Fenway | 11am | Free A sweet, hyper-local outdoor pick for Saturday morning: World Bee Day programming at the Fenway Victory Gardens. It is smaller and more niche than the big markets, but it is exactly the kind of community event that makes the weekend feel more Boston-specific.

🇨🇱 Festival Viva Chile Boston 2026 | East Boston | 5:30–9:30pm | Free A strong cultural festival pick in East Boston, with Chilean community programming, music, and food-centered energy.

⚾ Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins | Fenway Park | 4:10pm | Ticketed Saturday's 4:10pm first pitch is probably the best Fenway slot of the weekend if you want a full day around the neighborhood: vintage market first, game after, then dinner or drinks nearby.

It works as both a music festival and a shopping market, which makes it one of the best free weekend anchors for the small-business version of the guide.

👕 Fenway Outdoor Vintage Festival | Select Markets | Fenway | 12–6pm | Free RSVP Select Markets is bringing 30+ vendors per day to Fenway, with vintage clothing, streetwear, jewelry, accessories, Y2K, $10 piles, temporary tattoos, tooth gems, food, drinks, and more.

Their own site says the Godfrey location hosts weekly public classes, and this specific May listing highlights free public education classes with reservations.

Even if you are not running, go cheer on the runners and take in the great energy of the race!

🌿 SoWa Open Market | SoWa Boston | South End | 11am–5pm | Free SoWa is the best Sunday daytime default: 100+ vendors, food trucks, local makers, art, design shops, and an easy South End stroll. Memorial Day weekend is a great early-season moment before peak summer crowds fully settle in.

It is one of the strongest outdoor market picks of the entire weekend.

🎸 The Big Gig: Spring Music Festival & Market | Brighton Bazaar x Allston Pudding | Brighton | Free Sunday is the second day of The Big Gig, which makes it a perfect backup if Saturday gets too crowded or your plans shift.

⚾ Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins | Fenway | 1:35pm | Ticketed Sunday's 1:35pm first pitch is the most relaxed, family-friendly Fenway time of the weekend. It also leaves room for SoWa, the Fenway Vintage Festival, or a concert later in the evening.

📮 Boston 2026 World Expo: Semiquincentennial Ceremony | Boston 2026 + USPS | Seaport | 11am | Free / registration recommended Sunday's World Expo programming includes a USPS First Day ceremony tied to the semiquincentennial, which makes it one of the more historically relevant indoor events of the weekend. Good for design, history, collecting, and America 250 overlap.

🎸 Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band | TD Garden | North Station / West End | 7:30pm | Ticketed Bruce is the weekend's biggest arena concert and the obvious Sunday-night anchor. Plan around a heavy North Station crowd before and after the show.

🖤 Black Owned Bos. Market: Rhythm & Blooms | Black Owned Bos. + Boston Seaport | Harbor Way, Seaport | 12–6pm | Free One of the most important small-business market additions for Sunday.

📮 Boston 2026 World Expo: American Bison First Day Ceremony | Boston 2026 + USPS | Seaport | 11am | Free / registration recommended The World Expo continues Memorial Day with an American Bison First Day ceremony at the BCEC.

🐻 Hundred Acre Wood: A Winnie-the-Pooh Experience | Boston Children's Museum | Seaport | daytime | Ticketed Boston Children's Museum opens its Hundred Acre Wood experience over Memorial Day weekend, making it one of the better family-friendly indoor picks if Monday weather gets messy. It is less "holiday observance" and more "long-weekend family save," but a great plan nonetheless!

🏃 Run Club | Night Shift Brewing | Everett Taproom | 6:30–8pm | Free / pay as you go Night Shift's recurring run club lands directly on Memorial Day this year. It is a good active/local-brewery option for people who want something active to close out the weekend~

🧠 Trivia | Everett Taproom | 7:30–9:30pm | Free / pay as you go

I feel like we've given up on happiness as a society, just handing each other coping advice like it's a real solution. "Lonely? Go meet people, call friends, Join some passion community." As if it's that simple. But notice: no one volunteers themselves. That's the quiet defeat. It's like loneliness can't be solved, only managed. So we never ask how our own presence might help.

I'm not saying we're doing anything wrong. I know it's hard. But maybe next time a friend says, "I want to hang out," try your best to be present yourself. And if you can't, don't just give the same old generic excuses. Make it your effort to connect them or get them involved somewhere in a non-generic way to get the social time they need. Am I alone in this observation, or is there truth to it?

Hi!

I posted on here a long time ago and got a lot of messages, which was awesome and a lil overwhelming, and then I promptly locked myself out of that account and inadvertently ghosted my potential new friends. This is a new auto generated username, and quite frankly I really enjoy it and self identify with it!

I'm a 40F with a grand total of 0 friends in this city. I had a lot in my 20s that slowly started disappearing in my 30s to do things like have kids and live in the suburbs blah. I don't really fit in with most people my age because I can't relate to doing things like having kids and living in the suburbs, and most social meetup things seem to be aimed at 20s/30s. I also do not relate to the going to bed at 8pm because we are now 40 crowd, either. I like to go out and have fun still! Age is simply just a number you know.

I do a LOT of stuff alone and am cool with that, but am starting to feel a bit lonely and would love people to have adventures with, vent about relationships/work/politics, people watch, get high and talk about philosophy, etc.

I just turned 40, am very progressive/liberal and would not get along with someone whos maga, very open minded/open to new experiences (I don't mean that as a sexual hint, pervs), I love travel, being outside (I *want* to like hiking but it's more of being on the summit with a beer I'm enjoying than actually doing it, but willing to try more, also want to try roller skating), lovveee a good dive bar, trying new foods, taking the ferry to PTown/MV in the summer, curb your enthusiasm, always sunny, 420, red wine, trashy reality tv, beach days, trivia nights, thrifting, crafts, painting, literally almost all music except Morgan Wallen style country, concerts, porchfests, blah blah hblah .......

I'm wondering if there are people similar who would maybe like to schedule a meetup at a bar? I used to go to couchsurfing meetups back when that was a thing and it was fun to meet other people and share travel stories etc. I'd be into doing something similar like a weekly meet up but again, am having hard finding ones that include newly turned 40 year old friendless sad ladies like myself. lmk!!!

EDIT: open to any ages! Ideally looking for friends around my age but am happy to hang out with people younger/older etc. I only mention age because I feel I'm getting excluded from meetup type groups now that I've turned 40 I don't fit into the 20s/30s groups which I feel there are a ton of and I'm not seeing many for 40s.

EDIT AGAIN :

I made a WhatsApp group in the middle of the street in the thunderstorm so you can join! Message me for the link.

I am planning to go on a walk around Copley and Charles Esplande. Looking for people to chat with and go around Charles Esplande. If you are around and interested to join for a walk feel free to message.

30f, i genuinely I’m trying to understand why most people on here usually go into the sexual/dating route? Like how do you actually filter people that are genuine and actually want to do things/ be friends?

Hopefully this doesn’t delete by a mod, but just open to listening.

Hey everyone! I have AMC A-List and catch movies pretty regularly, mostly at AMC Assembly Row, but I’m open to other theaters around the Boston area too.

Looking to see if anyone would be interested in forming a casual movie group or meeting up for screenings from time to time. I’m into a mix of stuff — blockbusters, sci-fi, thrillers, indie films, animation, basically anything that’s worth watching.

No pressure or formal commitment. Just looking for people who enjoy going to the movies and might want some company instead of always going solo.

A little about me: 29M, been in Boston for about 5 years, work in Finance, and outside of watching movies/TV shows, I’m also into traveling and playing board games.

If interested, feel free to comment or DM with the kinds of movies you usually watch.

hi I’m a 19 F doing an internship in Boston this summer. im a rising sophomore at Florida state university. I like to go thrifting, see live music, tan, raves but I’m always down to do anything. Feel free to reach out if you want to be friends!!!!

Hey folks.

I’m currently on a backpacking trip from Mexico down to Colombia and have made the impromptu decision to head home via Boston to catch Scotland’s World Cup game against Morocco in your beautiful city on the 19th June.

As it’s a bit of a last minute decision and running on a bit of a tight budget - due to the World Cup being on, even hostel prices are through the roof and a bit beyond what I can afford.

I wanted to check with some locals if they had any tips of where to look for possible cheaper accomodation options such as couch surfing or similar that might give me a plan B and allow me some leftover $ for a beer token or two.

Any help or insight is greatly appreciated and I look forward to exploring what Boston has to offer as much as you’re looking forward to thousands of Scots descending on Boston for a week.

Hi, I just moved from NYC to Boston and looking for friends to hang out with. I like going to movies, trying new cuisines or workout classes around the city! But, Im mostly down for anything!
