How I Finally Found Like-Minded Friends At 26

I Finally Found Like-Minded Friends At 26 - This Is How / Hello people 🌱

Do you feel like you're surrounded by people but still isolated from the world? Do you have friends, but they lack the emotional depth you crave? I know exactly how that feels.

A few years ago, I realized that the friendships I had were more based on doing activities together, and I didn't have anyone to share my dreams, mental health struggles, or hardships with 😮‍💨

So I began my journey to find like-minded friends, and I want to share some tips with you.

First and foremost, be your own friend first. It's important to know which type of people you want in your life and what you want to give to others, not just get from them. The law of attraction states that we attract people who mirror our inner selves, so it's important to have a clear idea of who you are and what you want ✌️

Understand the actual importance of having like-minded friends. According to an 85-year Harvard study, close relationships are the key to a happy life. Having people around you who share your interests and values can help you feel more fulfilled and connected.

Next, put yourself out there. Don't expect others to find you; find them. Say yes to opportunities and join meetups or events of things that interest you. Online groups and meetings, as well as games and other hobbies, can also help you find like-minded friends 🎳

Realize the importance of having like-minded friends. If the only friends you have are from middle school and they're living toxic lives, it's probably not healthy in the long run. Having a lot of friends but not being able to talk about anything isn't fulfilling either. You can have friends and still feel lonely. I experienced this when I was living abroad; I had a lot of friends and people around me, but I felt like nobody understood me. It's important to pay attention to who you let come close and focus on building relationships with people who share your interests and values.

Once you find like-minded friends, make the relationships meaningful. If being an introvert is a disadvantage in the previous steps, it's a great advantage here. Ask them honest questions, not just do all the time something. Small talk will always happen, so prepare for it. Think of questions you would like to know when meeting someone or someone would ask you. Don't worry if they find it strange; it most likely means it's not a good match. I was able to change established relationships to deep and meaningful ones doing this ✨

Finally, make the relationships last. Consistency is key. Do projects or hobbies together, or if none, set up systems like meeting every Wednesday after work in a coffee shop. Investing time in building meaningful relationships with like-minded people can make all the difference in your life.
