Bengaluru Woman Viral Post: Making friends as an adult isn’t easy, and one emotional Reddit post has perfectly captured this struggle. The post has touched many hearts online for its honesty and reliability. In the post titled “How do you guys make friends and groups?”, the user talks about a close friend who moved to Bengaluru last year and has been feeling very lonely ever since. The post reads, “My friend moved to Bengaluru last year and has been feeling pretty lonely ever since. We often talk about how hard it is to meet new people as an adult, but lately she’s kind of given up trying.”
The Redditor describes her friend as someone full of life, with a great personality and sense of humour. “She works full-time, is Malayali, and has an amazing sense of humour—genuinely one of the most fun people to be around. But she’s tired of constantly putting herself out there and ending up feeling more isolated.”
What she truly hopes for is sincere friendships and meaningful connections. “She’d especially love to have a few good female friends or be part of a women’s group she can hang out with—just to feel less alone in the city and have some genuine connections.”
The post ends with a heartfelt request: “So I wanted to ask—how do you meet people in Bengaluru (women or men), make friends, and build a social circle? Any suggestions—communities, events, apps, or just personal stories—are welcome. It really hurts to see her struggle without anyone to share her time and joy with.”

The post, after being shared, received many comments from users. "Most locals also don't have the quality and quantity of friends they once had because of people travelling abroad for studies, travelling for better opportunities," a user wrote. "Heyyy there, been in Bangalore for 9 years now. And I am still alone here," a second user added. "Hobby groups are the best. Bengaluru is very dynamic, and there are groups for anything under the sky. Join one of those that matter. Be genuinely interested in the activity. Friendships are just a bonus on top if that happens," suggested a third user
"Pick up coaching for a sport or workout. That's a starting point to meet the same set of people consistently (even if it's just your coach). Honestly helps with my mental health," a fourth user added. "A local here, still, I do not have any friends, not even my school or college mates to talk or chat with, despite spending years with them," added a fifth user. "I know it is hard to find friends, not only in major cities but also in tier-1 and tier-2 towns. All because people are either moving to major cities or to other countries, and it is what makes people addicted to social media these days," added another user.
