How to make friends as an adult?

To be honest I struggle with making new friends. It’s not that I’m not friendly and approachable. I have to socialize all day for my job. So I feel to tired to do it after work. I have to approach people, ask them deep questions to best be able to help them. So I have to be an extrovert.

But when it comes to not being at work I resort back to my normal nature of being an introvert. Where I don’t want to approach people. When someone from work invites me out I rarely want to go. And yet I sit here wishing I had more friends.

I guess I am just looking for my people. The ones where it feels natural and not a forced effort. So many people are fake now a days. I can’t be bothered pretending to like someone because I have no one. I rather be alone.

As an adult how do you make new friends? Do you find it as difficult as me?

It’s because you want a serious relationship/friendship from start. That builds up as you get to know someone.

@eMortal very true, I don’t like shallow relationships. I crave meaningful conversations. Yes you’re right it would become deeper the longer you know some people. But haven’t you ever met someone and it’s easy and you feel like you have know each other for a long time? I want those relationships
