How to make friends as an adult?
The new starts with the old: Touch base with old friends and leverage your superconnectors.
Listen, seek similarity and celebrate: Don’t be interesting. Be interested.
Be vulnerable: Open up a bit. Form an “if-then” profile.
Don’t be a stranger: Check in every two weeks, minimum.
Start a group: Things that are habits get done. So start a group habit.
No 1 tip for keeping friendships alive?
Reach out to your good friends and tell them how much they mean to you. It’s just not something we’re accustomed to doing. It’ll make you feel great, it’ll make them feel great and it will strengthen the bond between you. Be more giving to the friends you already have. People in romantic relationships always celebrate anniversaries, yet you might have a friend for 15 years and you’ve probably never gone out to dinner and raised a glass to that. We need to cherish our friendships more.
