Moving to a new city where you do not know a single soul is incredibly daunting. You spend your weekends wandering around South Bank or the Powerhouse just hoping you will magically strike up a conversation with someone who also likes board games and craft beer
Yo! This is probably a less orthodox post, but I was wondering if anyone wanted to go clothes shopping with me at Garden City.
For context, I want to get out more, and I figured a nice set of new clothes would help give me the confidence I need to get out there and meet people. So I went out! Walked into the shops! And immediately realised I had no idea what I was doing. Being completely overwhelmed with choice, I ended up buying nothing...
So if there's anyone out there like me who needs to update their decade-old wardrobe, likes shopping for clothes, or just wants to hang out, send me a DM! The centre has plenty of food and entertainment too, so we can always just grab a bite or do something else if we get sick of walking around the shops.
Hi everyone!
I've decided to make a discord for those of us who are neurodivergent, introverted or otherwise socially awkward. The whole point is that it's super low-key. I'll most likely be in VC hanging out and playing games majority of the time, but would like to eventually organise some chill hangouts in person with some people also.
As for me - i like guitar, live music, gaming, poetry, reading, movies, escape rooms, board games, picnics, strolling through the art gallery and things like that. Definitely predominantly a homebody though!
If you're interested, comment or DM me i'll send you the link! I've only just fully set it up today, so there's just a couple of us so far. I'm always open to feedback on how to improve it also.
Anyway, ciao!
Hello Everyone and hi again posting here again lol 😅.
I have just moved from England about 5 months ago and i have made couple friends from this reddit but also through my work and social gatherings.
However, i still only know a handful of people and i would like to make some more friends.
About me, i am interested in art, i go to life drawing classes, galleries, i sometimes read, i like to run, cycle, i regularly go to gym, i love going to cinema or watching tv.
Also, i occasionally love to go to natural parks or walks (would like to hike but i need people to do so)
My fav genres comedy, horror, scifi.
Favourite tv shows (used to be doctor who not anymore) currently been watching “the boys”.
If anyone shares similar interests and would be willing to be friends let me know!
I am a geeky introverted biologist. Most days I spend my time in the lab running experiments doomed to failure! Some of my interests are reading, meditating, gardening, thrift shopping, hiking, cooking, long walks, cats, museums and puzzles. I like to think that I am a good listener and a supportive friend. So if you feel like we can be good friends, please reach out!
Hi I’m moving to new farm soon for work and have only a couple of friends up there so I’m interested in making some new girlfriends in the city. Recently went through a break up so I’m pretty isolated and looking to branch out and find my people!
I’m a 30 y/o RN who loves Pilates, gym, my dog, markets, comedy shows, a beer at the pub or a cocktail or few. Very laid back, let me know if you want to be friends!

Hi all,
So I’m about four weeks into learning salsa (On1 Cali style) and have been checking out some of the free Sunday socials over in the Valley.
The classes are great, but you really need the floor time to build that muscle memory. I’m fine working on footwork, shines, and flows by myself, but you obviously need a partner for the actual techniques. Plus, the social floor is where the real learning happens!
Everyone is friendly, but I’ve noticed the social scene can be a little "brutal" for beginners, especially for leads trying to find their footing.
Does anyone know of any open, low-pressure practice groups around Brisbane that cater to newbies? If there isn't one already, I'm highly considering starting up a casual practice/meetup group myself.
Let me know if you know a spot or if you'd be keen to get together and practice!
I'm planning to watch this movie at Hoyts Sunnybank because it's my side of town and I can get discounted tickets there. Throwing it out here to see if anyone else might be keen to join.
I'm 40sM, a casual fan of Star Wars stuff - mainly just the movies though and definitely not nerd level. I've watched all of The Mandalorian TV series though am pretty gifted at forgetting details!
These are the sessions I'm considering (all Xtremescreen):
Fri 22/5 9pm
Sun 24/5 3:30pm
Sun 24/5 9pm
Tue 26/5 6:30pm
Tue 26/5 9:30pm
For ticket we can either co-ordinate to book individually for adjacent seats, or if you want in on my discounts ($17.80 which I can access anytime, possibly $6.80 subject to availability) I can book for you with cleared prepayment.
If you're interested comment or DM with your preferred session time/s out of the options above and your preferred booking method (separate or pay me first to book together).
I have been thinking about attending one of the regular board game nights or book clubs around the West End but every time the day arrives I completely chicken out. The thought of walking into a room full of strangers and trying to awkwardly insert myself into an ongoing conversation gives me massive dread. How do you blokes force yourself to just take the plunge?
Anyone know where to get vapes around strathpine area?
Hi everyone,
36F and married, restarting my gym journey and would love to make some new friends to work out with and keep me motivated. Does anyone use Jetts gym in the valley or Mitchelton?
Hello! I’m 28F and am looking for some friends who like playing board games. My current favourite is Wondrous Creatures but I have a lot of really fun ones. I’d love to make some friends who are interesting in chatting and are interested in board games.
hello my period decided to wreck me and now i don't wanna leave my bed, and thus i can't go to a pint of science talk at the burrow. more info here: https://pintofscience.com.au/event/the-heat-is-on-what-warms-what-survives-and-how-we-know/
kinda sucks because i really wanted to go since the topic is relevant to my PhD and the event itself sounds interesting.
instead of letting it go to waste, does anyone want my ticket? it's for tonight, starts at 6:30 pm
pm me if interested, thanks
Hi all, late 30s female looking to start either volleyball or badminton, preferably with people in the same age group. Mainly interested in something social, fun, and casual.

i’m sick of long drives lol
looking for flowers and/or vapes
Hi guys,
My name is Pablo (38) and moved to Brisbane from NZ last year. At the beginning was alright, because I moved in with my girlfriend but in March she left me.
It has been a rough year, like snowball of shit after she left.
I have been trying to get my life together slowly, eating healthy and exercising but it feels lonely at times.
I started going on hikes and running, being in nature has helped.
About me, I’m neurodivergent ADHD and maybe some autism. I’m very geeky, like all the geeky stuff but I don’t look like it. I like board games, video games, going out, hiking, running, trying new things. I drive trucks for a living and write on my spare time.
I live by myself with 2 cats.
I’m located in north Brisbane, Chermside
Happy to chat 🙂
Hello!! My name is Wren and I am hoping to gauge interest in our birding club. We are currently unaffiliated with the university, however are hoping to change that next semester!
We currently host weekly birdwatching events by the lake on campus at 4pm on Mondays and would love to see you! This Saturday, we also have a planned meet at the Sandy Camp Wetlands where we will be joined by Professor Richard Fuller.
Any comments or shares would be greatly appreciated, and we hope to meet some new people! I have added a link to our Instagram page below ❤️

I'm 35M and I've spent the last year living a fairly introverted lifestyle. I'd like to get to know some more people around Brisbane, I do already have some amazing friends and family but I'm curious about what kind of people are around that I haven't already met.
Happy to chat, game, call, meet in person, I can host, drive and live pretty close to the botanical gardens in the city, if you have an interesting hobby you want to share that would be really cool.
Hello :) I'm 34m and I've been pretty lonely lately. I live alone and I don't see my friends very often because they all have kids and I do not. I need to get out of the house more and make some new friends. I'd love to find a nice and welcoming bunch of people to hang out with every week or two, preferably around my age and with similar interests.
Does anybody have a trivia team, bowling group or something similar that are open to new people? Or even just people who like going to the movies and wouldn't mind someone else tagging along? I'm not much of an online gamer but would be open to giving that a go (I've got a PS5). I'm really open to anything at this point as it has been quite a while since I had a solid friend group.
A bit about me: I'm neurodivergent (autism and ADHD), and very nerdy. I love movies, video games, Disney, theme parks, Marvel, and a lot of other things pop culture related. Haven't played board games in a while but I enjoy those too. I work full time Monday to Friday so I'd be looking to do things on evenings and weekends. I can be a bit awkward at first but I'm trying to push myself out of my comfort zone.
If there is anyone else in here looking for the same, maybe we could start something up?
Edit: I live in Coorparoo so looking for Southside friends :)
30m introverted but somewhat flamboyant southside based but will be going near the city to play,
Looking to get a lasertag crew together to maybe have some regular-ish games together once a month or so
EDIT: Maybe we do paintball if we get enough people interested
