The friend thing… what gives?!

So, we’ve all seen the many, many, (MANY) posts from people who are either new to Perth or have lived here for years and are looking for friends. We Aussies pride ourselves on being down-to-Earth and friendly, so why is it that so many of us are so miserable and lonely? What can we do to fix it?

Those of you who are new to Perth: what is it that we are missing that makes it so difficult to connect with others? Compared with other cities?

Those of you who are from Perth: what stops you from connecting with people who are new to our city?

I hate that it is so difficult for people 😢
