I really like the naturally collaborative activity idea, I’m going to look for things like that in my city this week and report back
For example, I recently made a friend from a language class, it was easier to meet people bc we had to practice with classmates, we worked together on assignments, etc
No siblings or family members to hang out with? I don't have friends I just chill with my auntie, uncle, cousins etc.
Meetup (the website) is great
Signing up for classes in stuff you're interested in.
Hang out at a bar, not sitting by yourself
Just accept that you’ve already peaked in life and move on OP.
I feel like you're projecting here
Take up a language and use s*** like HelloTalk to get friends. Meet with other folks learning that language around you
Not as tough as it seems, just put yourself out there and be solid as a person. The people meant for you will show up
S*** is tough bruh. My girl and I been trying to find some dope friends to hang out with. But its so hard to find in your mid 20s, especially because it seems everyone around our age can't do anything because they have kids
feel this.
i’m late 20s now and it’s even worse
all friends married or have kids or both
Any practical or tested advice for making new friends as an adult?
Current lifestyle
That’s it
Im apart of a Facebook group called making friends after college. Maybe look for something like that in your area
Take classes, attend meetups, join groups, pursue other hobbies and interests and people will be there.
If you go to the gym I met a lot of friends through the gym.
Social clubs, sports leagues, dating apps, fb groups, get a dog
Idk I didn't know how to make friends as a kid or a teenager either though
Maybe just look at them until it creeps people out enough for them to ask you why you are staring at them and start a conversation that way
dw blah ur my friend
It was easy to make friends in school because you saw the same people every day.
Find hobbies where you see the same people consistently.
