New City Blues

I recently moved to this new city and I feel like such a failure. Everyone seems so put together and confident, but here I am still hiding behind my apartment curtains most days. I tried going to the gym last week, but ended up just staring at the machines feeling clueless about how they all work. Then there was that coffee shop near my place where everyone chats with each other like old friends, I felt so out of place and awkward trying to order a latte. It's embarrassing how much I want to make new friends here, yet every time I see someone walking their dog on the street or grabbing groceries at the store, all I can think about is how nice it would be if they just reached out first. But that's probably never going to happen. I guess I’m just admitting to myself that moving cities might have been a bit of a leap too soon.
