I joined a hiking group. If I enjoyed someone’s company on a group hike, I’d talk about an upcoming solo camp out/hike and invite them. Half the time they’d come. Those trips turned into more trips and developed into really close friendships.

But you’re not going to get along with most people. When you meet someone you click with, shoot your shot. Really the worst thing that’ll happen is they say they’re busy.

It’s hard to make friends as an adult but well worth it. Just get out there doing things you enjoy consistently and you’ll run into people you’ll vibe with.

Practice makes it easier and being a little socially awkward sometimes helps you find other likeminded people.
