Many people come to therapy confused about how to form new friendships in adulthood. They say things like:
- “I was really good at making friends when I was young. Does everybody lose this ability with age?”
- “I feel like everyone around me already has a solid group of friends. How do I find a group to fit in with? Or is it too late?”
- “I’m either working at my office or taking care of my family. How do I find time for making new friends?
Making friends as an adult can be more complicated than when you were young. The logistical and emotional challenges involved in creating new bonds as an adult sometimes push us to isolate ourselves. Or, they may lead us to believe the false notion that our time to make new friends has passed.
If you struggle to make new friends as an adult, research says you’re not alone. The challenges you’re facing are real, but they can be managed. Here are two practices you can incorporate into your life that can help you create lasting friendships at any life stage.
