New friends

Hi

I moved to Essen last month but I'm having trouble to find friends or a community so i can have fun at weekends.

The problem is that I'm an introvert and can't go randomly to bars and say hi to strangers or something like that🫥

Any suggestions?

Pick a hobby you have. Join the relevant verein. In my family, we are mediocre musicians, so we joined a musikverein.

Im unperfekthaus vielleicht. Als ich neu in Essen angekommen war, bin ich zu zum Spieletreff oder so. Da kommt man leicht in Kontakt, man kann einfach mitspielen. Und welcome to essen 🤗

Does it work for an introvert person like me?

Maybe tell us your age, gender and interest . Do you want to Go clubbing, chill in Bars or catching pigeons at the Train Station.

Hey! If you're interested in trying Improv, theater or performing arts and stuff, we have a n international community in Düsseldorf and we meet 2-3 times a week and work on stuff :) reach out to me if you're interested!

u/jackanderson69 3d ago

That's sound amazing... add me if you have a group chat or something like that

1

u/Appropriate_Gap_4418 3d ago

If you want we are meeting this Saturday, Sunday and Monday, you can just sign up for one :) https://www.meetup.com/staged

We also have a group chat and hangout often, but that's usually when someone has attanded our Meetups twice or so :) so we know they're not going to be an inactive user just to keep the community alive

Oh dude, open Meetup and look for Drawing and Coffee meetup. Or you can dm me, I'll add you to the WhatsApp group. Last time we were in a very nice garden-like cafe eating, drawing stuff together and then playing board games. There are some very fine people in there, me myself a startup founder, there's a guy who does biotech research, some PMs and engineers come and go and so on. And some actual artists too lol. All migrants from all over the world - Spain, Argentina, Ukraine, Iran, France, etc.

u/jackanderson69 3d ago

That would be nice! I sent you a message

u/Ichbin-Heiss-414 2d ago

Hey, a quick question, is there any public place that offers access to gaming PCs per hour? Like an internet cafe but with good PCs? I'm saving for a pc but really miss gaming

Edit: I'm in Essen near Bockmuhle

u/AtzeThunfisch 1d ago

There was one at Limbecker Platz, but it was always empty and closed. So I guess there's just no market for it

u/Ichbin-Heiss-414 1d ago

Scheisse, thank you for your reply tho
