Don't Let Loneliness Win: 10 Actionable Steps to Make New Friends and Boost Your Happiness

Feeling alone lately and/or are you struggling to make new friends? The pandemic was a struggle for so many in so many ways - and one of those ways was not having the human connection necessary to make friends and build and maintain relationships in our lives. We may have asked ourselves how do I make new friends in college or how do I make new friends in my 30s or how do I make new friends in my 40s - or where do I make new friends. Friendships can be tough and if you recently moved or work from home or just struggle being vulnerable in social settings - building new friendships can be really difficult. Let's take me for example, I recently moved to a new city and am missing my friends back in Los Angeles. I'm in my 30s and work from home and making new friends has been really hard for me. I don't know where to go or what places to make new friends. I also know that making new friends takes effort and time and it's hard to dedicate time for new friendships. But then I can catch myself feeling alone or lonely - and as a therapist I know I need community and friendships. In this video I'm going to talk you through the 10 ways and places and tips and how to make new friends - whether you're in college or high school or in your 30s or 40s or 50s or whatever age. Know that making new friends and feeling alone is something so many people face and you're not alone - and there are people out there that are also looking to make new friends. What has worked for you in making new friendships? Where do you go to make new friends? How do you make new friends? Would love your tips, too!
