My bf (21) is struggling to make friends. He’s pretty shy, but he goes love a good beer and he’s really big into legos. The friends he does have are horrible influences, & honestly treat him like shit. Any advice on how he can put himself out there more??

I say this because when you have a gf and then eventually kids you’ll have all the relationships you need

Ask him to socialize with your friends. Or other girls that you know.

you have a point actually. my dad still has a few friends ofc, as well as acquaintances and contacts and stuff, but he enjoys spending time with his family (my mom, my siblings and i, and his brothers) over anyone else

He does this and he’s super good! Doesn’t struggle whatsoever. I think it’s something with guys. He grew up closer to his mom and sister, so I think it’s easier for him to talk to girls over guys. He gets real in his head anytime he talks to another guy.

I’m cracking up. This is very true. I think he just misses out on the boy time. I have a few friends, but most of my time is with him. When I’m with those friends, I can tell he’s lonely and feels left out.

So maybe that’s the way. Some guys need to be with the boys, others maybe not.

i grew up with my mom and sister but a brotherhood (friends wise since i have no brother) is still important, if he likes a good beer go too a pool hall or some local brewery, people are social when drinking
