The trendy saying that people ran off with from a Drake song, \u201cNo new friends\u201d is ill-advised. \u00a0Making new friends in your 30\u2019s when our lives are starting to become well balanced is a great time to make friends. Believe it or not, making friends when you\u2019re older can be easier and is quite beneficial.<\/p>\n
What constitutes overall health, wellness, and well being is your friendships and relationships. Who is your community?<\/p>\n
A majority of our childhood friendships die off mostly due to the fact that we are not the same person at 30 as we were at 15. \u00a0The other factor could possibly be that you no longer live in the same state that you did at 15. According to quora.com, over 50% of New Yorkers are transplants. \u00a0This makes the need for new friends of all the more importance.<\/p>\n
Friends are a big damn deal and picking the right ones are an even bigger fucking deal. \u00a0The biggest concern about making new friends is where to find them and how to make them. Here are:<\/p>\n
Your place of employment is a GREAT place to make friends. \u00a0Thinking about the fact that you spend more time at work than you do with your own family should immediately convince you that this source is by far the best place. \u00a0Some people don\u2019t like to mix \u2018business with pleasure\u2019 but that does not equate to having someone to confide in that understands your daily reality. However, there is a percentage of caution that should be taken because there is a higher level of confidentiality. \u00a0You want to ensure that you can trust that what you talk about outside of work doesn\u2019t make it into work. Trust is earned and is the foundation of any friendship, no matter the age or place where you make friends. Just proceed with slightly more caution in the workplace. <\/span><\/p>\n Travel groups are organizations that choose a destination and put together an itinerary in advance for people. \u00a0Sometimes they allow you to pay a deposit and offer a payment plan. A great source for finding these groups are via social media. \u00a0You can use popular hashtags, such as #travelgroups or #travel. You can also log into your Facebook account and search the groups’ section for travel groups. You can also reach out to travel agents and they can do the work for you. \u00a0Travel groups are great ways to make friends because you clearly share the same interests of traveling and the destination selected.<\/span><\/p>\n Piggybacking off of ways to find travel groups, is good ole\u2019 social media. \u00a0What can\u2019t you find on social media nowadays, right? Besides travel, social media allows you to connect with people that have other similar interests. \u00a0You can use hashtags and Facebook groups for other interests besides travel as well. Another great way to make friends on social media is Twitter. For example, your favorite show \u2018This is Us\u2019 is trending. \u00a0Pay attention to those that reply or retweet your tweets. Check out their profile, maybe they reside in the same area and you can start up a conversation about that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Conferences and expos for work are great for more than just networking. \u00a0Conferences and expos have a very specific scope of interest. It could be an IT conference or a beauty expo, either way, this is another example of shared interests that are beneficial to building friendships.<\/span><\/p>\n Perhaps you’re taking an online class and someone in the group thread has similar ideas or would prefer to study in person with someone. Or you might be\u00a0taking a yoga class and spot someone with great taste in leggings. \u00a0Sparking a convo with someone in a class is very easy, as it\u2019s a class and there\u2019s bound to be questioned. This gives the conversation an easy start.\u00a0 Since we’re on the topic of school, if you have children, chances are that your child has already made a friend at school and is begging for a playdate.\u00a0 So of course, next up is a parent introduction to make this happen.\u00a0 If you’re lucky enough, you’ll vibe with the other parent and become friends.<\/span><\/p>\n Brunches are basically parties with a lighter atmosphere vs a regular club. \u00a0This makes it much easier to transition into convos. Brunches typically have great food, mimosas, and music. \u00a0Wait times at these social gatherings can be very long, giving you an additional opportunity to spark a convo while waiting in line.<\/span><\/p>\n While we\u2019re on the subject of parties, house parties a.k.a kickbacks make for great ways to start friendships. \u00a0House parties provide automatic buffers of introductions. It’s an automatic buffer because this is in someone\u2019s home and you already know someone there. You either know the host or the person that invited you. \u00a0This person will typically introduce you to someone else at the party that they believe you would get along with or share a common interest. <\/span><\/p>\n The airport is a great place to meet people from all over.\u00a0 This works really well when traveling solo while grabbing a drink before takeoff.\u00a0 Perhaps the person next to you has an interesting looking cocktail, asking them about their drink and where they’re headed is a great segway to starting a convo.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Group counseling has become more and more popular thanks to those that are becoming more open about the state of their mental health and making mental health a priority.\u00a0 Making friends in a support group is rather easy because the group is typically less than 20 people and the common reason for the support is very specific.\u00a0 Someone that not only shares your struggles but desires to do better should be someone that screams ‘friendship’.<\/span><\/p>\n What’s better than one pet lover? Two.\u00a0 Pets are family members and dog lovers are serious about their babies.\u00a0 Asking questions or giving suggestions to someone else about their pet is a fantastic conversation starter.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The biggest key to take from all of this is that you have to actually be willing to put yourself out there and just dive right in.\u00a0 Don’t believe that you have to be extroverted in order to do this, introverts need love too.\u00a0 Making friends in your 30’s is not necessarily easy, but these are some great options to start your venture.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> The trendy saying that people ran off with from a Drake song, \u201cNo new friends\u201d is ill-advised. \u00a0Making new friends in your 30\u2019s when our lives are starting to become well balanced is a great time to make friends.
