Remind me, how does an adult make new friends in real life? I've thought about approaching...

I’m always happy to talk to a nice, smiley person that says hello, it’s nice when people start conversations. As long as you’re not like a total psycho (which you don’t seem to be!) you’ll be ok. 😊

Go to club type settings Gyms, church (if that's ur thing) Maybe take some recreational classes of some sort. When i say club I mean settings where people have familiar ideology.

The first time I made friends I went to the club alone and some nice people adopted me and I made a whole squad of friends. It was scary though and I had to get out of my comfort zone.

It was alway hard for me to make friends because I'm shy and anxious, especially now when I'm in adult world

Anyway I started uni last year and I talk to only one person, but it's still something and now we're literally roommates😭 she just approached me with "heyyyy you're *****?" and then we stuck together.

And this was the same for the 1 year, now I'm in summer semester and I wanted to meet someone new so I signed up random for running club, because I have always wanted to go running but didn't know with who... So we have uni running club and next week I'll be there for the first time so hopefully I'll make new friends
I'm grateful for anyone :DD anyway good luck with making friends!!!

It’s not you. It’s the narcissistic culture we’re in right now. Followers better than actual friends.
I know someone who prefers a bunch of simps to a reciprocal friendship.
This is more rampant with women.
But on more serious note, just keep talking to people everywhere. It’s the right time to join an outdoor group activity like hiking, running, yoga etc. When talking to people being as casual as possible, yet sincere helps. It’s attractive.

It's having third places. I don't drink so I don't go to bars, and it's mostly retired or really young people where I'm at so it's difficult to meet anyone 😔

You might not really welcome my answer, but I'll share mine:

Start online. I'm serious. There are lots of chatting websites, especially if you're learning a new language. Start by looking for language learners in your city near city. Start by writing to get to know the person, improving in your target language, etc. With time, days, weeks, or longer, move to Skype or WhatsApp depending on your level of comfort. Last step, when you feel friendship is also part of your language connection, offer to meet in person.

I dont know either, i usually end up making friends with creepy guys who are just pretending to be nice so I'll date them.

Hope you have a wonderful response. I've never been great at making friends either here or out in reality. It's on me, I am sure, but...

I think as long as you are in a place where people come to mingle and meet it shouldn’t be an issue. ***especially*** for women.

I'll meet them [b]spontaneously[/b] and not really looking, at grocery stores, shopping, gas stations, or just walking.

Hey! Me too

act friendly and be yourself.

Mordechai · 31-35, M

Honestly if someone did that to me I'd welcome it a lot. It's weirder for me as a guy to do the same.

Probably nothing. Everything has consequences these days
