How do y'all make friends as adults in real life?
I'm a freelancer and I don't go to school I spend most of my days at home and I don't have any outdoor hobbies Are we just supposed to stick to our old friends? How do y'all do it? I haven't tried to make any friends since before COVID started and I've forgotten how I'm supposed to do it
I used to stay indoors a lot but recently got a job where I could go out more. I suggest getting outside once in awhile could help you meet different kinds of ppl but I do tend to hang out with my old friends a lot more. And, striking up a conversation with someone won’t hurt nothing so it’s always a good idea to put in the effort to try to tal...... reply
I’ve had friends in elementary school and high school but after high school I haven’t been in contact with them so I don’t consider them my friends anymore. Just someone I once barely knew.
I’m very antisocial so I can’t make new friends. I talk to people when they talk to me but there’s some distance.

Honestly if u wanna make friends irl just visit a place frequently like become a regular at a coffe shop or book store and maybe try making small talk with strangers or maybe you'll get lucky and a talkative worker at said place will yapp to you.
Since u stay at home a lot I'd also recommend finding community's online.

I know that I’ve kept my old youth friends with me. As for new friends, I usually ask them something stupid just to engage the conversation. The other day I met some girl in the laundry area, asked her to teach how to pay for washing machines (even though I knew how to), then engaged the conversation from there. Asked her about school, if she’s...... 1 reply
I just hang out with my old friends. I make work friends, but don't hang out with them after I leave my jobs. There are apps like Bumble to help make friends one of my friends do this. I've been thinking of doing this too cause I'm bored as fuck. reply
You can look for communities online or look for hobby groups that meet in your area, like for fiber crafts or tabletop games. Public libraries will often host meetings and you can check their calendar online. Join a book club. Take a class at your community center or something. Basically you gotta pick a place and show up regularly, that's how you ...... reply
I mean, if you already have friends you could have them introduce you to their friends? Maybe? That's how I've made most of my friends lol
I would also try looking for activities where you can naturally spend time with other people. Just spending time doing an activity together can create a friendship, which is why it's fairly easy to make friends...... 2 reply
Casually go into LinkedIn and communicate with ppl who work in ur field. I'm still a student so I ask for any advice I even talk to ppl around my age from different fields that way.
By casual talk you would start getting to know them making friendships and building connections too.
Also wherever I go I find ppl who need help or questioning about s...... reply
Honestly, after COVID, it became difficult to make friends. Those I knew from school, I meet with once a year, and I've only made one friend in college, whom I rarely talk to because our schedules are different. Despite working part-time and meeting people there, it never went beyond the term "colleagues". I wouldn't consider them friends since I h...... reply
