As a child, making friends seemed like the simplest thing to do. Each of my new classmates, lab partners, and neighbours had the potential to become my future best friend. But as you became older and busier, so did everyone else, and suddenly, establishing new acquaintances wasn’t so easy. If you’re dealing with this as well, don’t give up hope; it’s still possible to establish friends as an adult, but in different ways.
- Finding someone during a music festival
Consider dancing to your favourite singer and grabbing someone’s eye in the crowd. The next thing you know, you’re both swaying to the rhythms with no regard for the rest of the world. That’s how powerful a friendship can be formed via music—no commitment, no caution, no words, and no cent offered!
- Meeting someone at the gym
If you work out on a daily basis, you’re already enthusiastic and determined, so finding someone to share that enthusiasm with provides exactly the incentive you need to keep going. Because, while your family may say that a small amount of halwa is harmless, she is the only one who understands how much it takes to burn it off.
- Getting along with the neighbour
Most of the time, you’re hesitant to approach your recently relocated neighbours because it’s a bit out of your comfort zone. Give it a shot; you don’t have to create a deep attachment, but it’d be great to have someone to go home to for a casual talk, especially if you live alone.
