How to Make New Friends as a Grown Up
Without the forced social interaction of a high-school cafeteria or a college dorm, many adults find it hard to make new, lasting friendships. Finding yourself alone in a new city or suddenly without your former besties can be lonely and frustrating, particularly if you’ve never been a social butterfly.
