MAKE FRIENDS LIKE YOU ARE A DAMN FLAMINGO

Here’s the thing: A lot of us are lonely. Really lonely.

And making friends? As an adult? It can feel kind of scary.

Why does this matter? Well, Sherri Gordon on Very Well Mind cuts right to the chase:

“Research shows that after the age of 25, most adult friendships start to dwindle.1 Of course, some of this has to do with changing jobs, getting married, moving, and even having children.

“Forming meaningful relationships may be harder as you get older, but it’s well worth the effort. Good friendships have a myriad of benefits, including:2

Better immune functioning
Decreased risk of disease, illness, and injury
Increased longevity
Reduced stress
Speedier recovery when sick.”

We want all that for you, so we’re here with some advice on how to make friends

Check out the people you work with

One great way to make friends according to Dr. Miriam Kiramyer, a clinical psychologist interviewed by Emily Burns for The Cut is:

“We all have workplace acquaintances that we know deep down could be something more. Dr. Kirmayer suggests taking the leap to growing those relationships. Find a common denominator you can bond over, like a shared hobby or interest! You don’t have to talk about work. “Making an effort to gradually open up about different parts of your life, that can help to deepen that sense of connection,” said Kirmayer. Talk about your life, what you like to do in your free time, etc. Perhaps set up a Zoom coffee chat with your fave colleague or schedule a hangout with the neighbor you always joke with in the hallway.
