It is not hard to make friends. If you're a friendly person and fun to be with, people will want to be around you. But if you're thinking that no one will automatically flock to you for no reason, then it probably won't happen. Give people a reason to want to be around you and stop being so negative and miserable.

Yep, it's usually tough in the beginning but should you do it? Absolutely. I moved to states where i did not know anyone at age 20, 24 and 25 and i am about to move again 2 years later. It's hard at first because you don't have friends, everything looks strange and if you are like me, initially, you do not have any of your belongings (because they are still on the way), and all you have is a brand new apartment. So yes in the beginning it's scary and exciting and feels like an adventure.
If it's for a better opportunity then absolutely do it. It also makes you more travelled and more cultured

I moved to NC when I was 19. I didn't know anyone there, but I loved it, and when I decided to move back home, it was not the same.
I moved to SF in '90, and even though I knew a few people there, I was still very much on my own and I loved my time there too.
I say go for it. You will never know unless you give it a shot. You can always move back, and you do not want to regret it later for missing the experiences of everything being new.
I still miss NC and may go back to live in a year or so.
Best wishes!

I moved to Georgia when I was 26 after living in Texas my whole life. Georgia was beautiful but the only friend I had was my boyfriend who moved with me. We stayed for six months and I went back to Texas for a month before deciding to move permanently to Idaho (again with my bf). I've been here for a month and a half and am starting to freak out. I have no friends and am VERY far away from my family now. I don't work bc I have a panic disorder so I don't get to socialize. If you can work outside of the house I'm sure you will make friends quickly. As for me, I'm trying to hang in but it is VERY difficult and I am finding myself getting depressed. It kinda sucks to be so far away from all my family and have no friends.

When I relocated it took close to a year to form a small circle of friends,mostly co-workers with the same interests.You should most definatley move the world has many beautiful people to meet and things to see.Who knows perhaps you are destined to do a wonderful life changing event but it will only occur in Colorado.If you are close to clorado springs check out the yukon tavern great people good tunes hot chile and plenty of well yukon jack.

Co is beautiful! My family lives there and they are all very nice. Moving might be hard at first, but you will make new friends.

I picked up and moved across the country when i was 19 and it was difficult to say the least. the best advice i can offer is that no matter how much distance you put between yourself and your problems, you'll always be yourself. ie., if the problems are with you, then they will follow you.
