Making new friends is hard!!

Who knew that once you got out of high school, you'd forget the friend making skill.

2025/1/13 Edited to

... Read moreMaking new friends in adulthood can be challenging, especially after the structured social environment of high school. As we transition into different stages of life – be it starting a family, shifting careers, or relocating – our social circles can become limited. To facilitate friendship-making, it's essential to step out of your comfort zone and engage in activities that align with your interests. Join community groups, attend workshops, or volunteer at local organizations. Given that you’re probably managing various commitments, like parenting or running a small business, consider online platforms where you can connect with like-minded individuals. Leverage social media groups or apps dedicated to friendship. Remember, starting conversations can be as simple as expressing your interests, such as a love for books or being a proud cat owner, which can resonate with potential friends. Embrace your quirks, like your Pisces traits or your flair for sarcasm, to attract people who appreciate you for who you are. Building lasting friendships may require patience, but the connections formed can lead to meaningful and supportive relationships.

As someone who’s worked from home since graduating, it’s been HARD to make new friends. I would consider myself a pretty extroverted person, but meeting new people has been draining. It’s so different than it was going through school where everyone was in the same life stages as you and it was incr
