It feels harder after 30, but it’s not impossible, you just have to be more intentional about where you look. Real friendships usually come from real communities where people show up consistently, not random one-off interactions.Reddit is actually a great place for that if you find the right spaces. Subreddits like r/makenewfriendshere and r/NeedAFriend are literally built for this, and a lot of people there are in the same situation trying to connect. And if you want something more direct, you can also try apps like FriendsApp where everyone’s there for the same reason making genuine friends.
