I made a friend

How scary is it making friends as an adult? I think it might be the hardest thing we have to do. After a certain point in our lives, we’ve all had horrid experiences with people, bad friends, who have let us down or hurt us in some way, so letting someone new in? Terrifying.

I’ve recently moved and most of my old friends are an hour away, so I decided I must ensure I make a couple of friends who at least live in the area. I honestly pulled out the pre-school move of ‘Hi! Lets be friends’ and you know what, it worked! Something about being honest with your intentions means you’ll either get a good result or save any confusion (even if you do get slightly rejected).

Anyway, she’s fab, I’m so pleased I made a (for me) bold move and approached her. So if you know someone who is likely to be your friend, go ahead and just ask because they might just also be looking for a new best friend.

How have you made friends as an adult?
