I'm moving in August to a brand new city (I've talked about this before!) and I'm getting kind of scared. Sometimes I feel like I'll just walk right in and take it by storm, but sometimes I doubt that and feel like I'll end up sitting in my apartment all alone and won't be able to make friends. I've never really had a problem with it before, but it's just that it's such a big place and I hardly know anybody, plus I can't just go out on my own at night since it's urban. I don't know really what to do about it either. I am signed up for a few classes, have found a shelter to volunteer at, and am probably getting a job during the week, so it's not like I'm ever going to be totally isolated, but you know I just don't know how to make real friends to just hang out with... I'm starting to feel like moving was a mistake, and I am scared of all the crime around. Believe me, I looked for an apartment in a nice part and sort of found it, but no matter what you have to at least walk through some shady areas at some point during the day. It's just scary. I'm not a by-myself sort of person.
Any advice? I've never done this before.
