"Find a way to join different groups of people that already exist in hobbies or interests that you already have"... Unfortunately unless you live in a city, that doesn't work. There are no groups of people that do anything in smaller towns aside from hunters that do group hunts, alcoholics that get drunk at the pub habitually, or families doing family activities 😭

I googled things to do in the town I live and what came up was berry picking, a café, and a cardboard box "boat" race 😂

That was a period in my life I was too focused on making friends then I just forgot about that and making friends started to be piece of cake❤️

I'm introverted and I know quite a few other introverts. One of the challenges I am constantly faced with is kind of being in between in age. Living in a retirement community and I'm too young for it, yet I'm too old to be hanging out with people in their 30s and 40s. I just want to connect and have great conversation. I keep trying, but I do find that many people are either too busy with their kids and family or job and just don't want to be bothered. And that apathy of people wanting to have friends yet not going out of their house to create that space - is something that many of us are struggling with.

I live in Portland and I really hate culture here, everyone is so flakey and only want to go out for drinks. For years I’ve put so much energy in the relationships that weren’t reciprocating at all. I always was one to reach out, to make plans, to invite people for dinner or to offer them something. Then I felt drained of energy and when I stopped reaching out first, I realized I didn’t have real friendships here, I realized that all the effort to connect was always coming from me and when I stopped doing it, I just didn’t have any friends anymore because people wouldn’t reach out and plan. I hate how everyone is always talking about needing community and yet not willing to put any effort in to it.

I don’t go out really besides work and I really don’t feel like I vibe well with any of my coworkers. I relocated 2 years ago and just don’t know where to start

I would not ask someone to invite me to a party. If they didn't already invite me there is a reason even if its because of a space limitation.

Great video! I’m guilty of wanting high quality friendships but I don’t go out to make any friends! I get scared of awkward silences bc I’m very quiet! I need to follow your tip and have some questions ready! Lol

[erikaa.]

Great practical advice, I love how you mentioned to agree to participate when people invite you out! It’s important to show up for people and show ourselves friendly if we’d like to have friends! God bless y’all! ❤️🙏✝️

As an adult I know how hard it is to make new friends .😊

My closest friends are introverts!! I am an ambivert and it took me a while to understand a real introvert, but I learned to value a lot their friendship as it is so sincere, deep, genuine...

[nayakiabates]

Great tips, I’m definitely an introvert but I’m in a stage in my life where my children are grown and I have a lot of time on my hands and stared feeling lonely. I love the Facebook group idea. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas with us 💕💕

Alot of the suggestions that you have assume that everyone lives in bigger cities. Towns with populations under 10, 000 do not have all of these social options available. I have to travel 60 miles to buy a pair of shoes that don't come from Wal-Mart for example. Yoga is a foreign word. Tractors and four wheelers are common forms of transportation.

[RicardoSantos-ozuj]

A friend is someone that is willing to spend time with you without being paid. And you are willing to spend time with them without being paid.

Keyword WILLING.

Situational friendships (where people have no option but to spend time with you) is not a true friendship. However situational friendships may lead to true friendships (as willing to spend time with someone usually means that you like how a person acts)

Joined a make a friend website that no one uses.. I'm sorry but All these tips are useless to most people.. How to make friends.... Go out and make friends! and then hang out. Wow great advise!

Group workouts are such a great idea! I made some great friends at the gym going to the same classes over and over 🥰 love the vid! Love that you moved here. Love that we’re closer😘😘 feel like I’ve known you my whole life💕

[luckypunch]

Well done. I found myself alone at 31 in a big capital, it is definately cool to be able to survive on your own, but you gotta have some quality friends! Hope to use some of those tips.

As an introvert, I will never ask people to invite me on to hang out with them.

[AprilDelRosario]

I think it’s easy to make friends… hard to keep them. For me, at least.
