Welcome back Readers,

Gurl you don’t even need to tell me twice making friends as an adult can be draining, time consuming and like a full time job at times I hear it.

It is like the older you get the more difficult it becomes to make friends. It is either you’ve been friends with the same people from childhood or you had the privilege to make friends during University etc. but unfortunately some of us did not have that luxury.

But none the less here are some ways for my girlies looking to make friends as an adult:

Use apps such as Bumble BFF-

I know I know you heard bumble and thought I meant the dating app.

No darling we are looking for friends not a man. Bumble created another app but this one is for finding friends.

You just have to set up a profile like you would on any other application and then start swiping left and right gurl.

I’d suggest that once you begin talking with your potential bestie set up a meet up asap. As you don’t want to be talking to someone and then it goes no where or the communication begins dying down and it becomes a missed opportunity.

Join clubs/communities-

This is great way to find like minded individuals and to have an excuse to speak to random people.

For my introverted girls or people who spend 99% of their time on their social it will help to push you out of your comfort zone whilst doing something you love.

Make sure to be a regular attender and be actively engage and I’m positive that even the shyest person will be able to create a bond.

These clubs/communities can vary from the gym (participating in classes), sports clubs, dance clubs, arts clubs, church, (insert your specific interest) clubs, anime club. It’s 2023 there is most definitely a club for everything and if there’s not why not create one.

Attend events-

Through attending events you will meet a plethora of people and build your network. Whilst building your network a great way to make life long friends is by staying in touch with the individuals you clicked with the most after the event.

By contacting them slowly but surely you will be able to build a friendship with one another.

But make sure to be mindful and only attend events where you would like your life to go and make friends with people who share the same values and morals as you.

They don’t have to have the exact same personality or behaviour as you but the basic fundamentals should be the same.
