Why do you want to do this?

I moved to a new town and I have been struggling to find new friends. I left my whole life as I knew it behind in FL for a job and now I'm struggling with meeting new people. I want to challenge myself to find fun/good people to surround myself with here to make it feel more like home.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

Make more of an effort to put myself out there.

Stop letting my job be an excuse for making time.

Make no judgements and keep an open mind about new people.

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

Fear is my biggest barrier. Not because I'm scared to meet new people, but because I am afraid that I won't find other people who share my same interests and ways of life. Meeting new people can often be awkward if you don't initially click.

 Have you tried looking into social groups? A lot of places have social sports groups that mix participating in sports teams as well as hanging out afterwards. Maybe check out your cities website for classes to take. Joining a local gym and taking classes there is also another way to meet people. Mainly, focus on what you like and see what your town has to offer in the community!

I see that you made this goal awhile back.  I am curious to know how it it going.  A couple of years ago I ped everything and moved.  I dealt with similar issues.   Well I hope you have now made some wonderful friends!
