This article discusses why making friends as an adult can be difficult. Because as we get older, “making friends” doesn’t happen naturally anymore. When we were kids, we could just walk up to people and quickly become friends. When you grow up, you can no longer adopt such a strategy. You need to consciously interact with others and cultivate friendship. You can’t just rely on luck and wait passively. Regular group activities or dinners are a good way, so it is best to have a small group that lives relatively close and can chat (how important and happy it is to “live close to friends”). You can bring friends to play together, and then friends of friends may get to know each other and develop new friendships.
If everyone is under a lot of pressure in life, it will be even more difficult, because work is very tiring, and you may just want to relax on weekends (Social is still quite tiring), or be with your family, and the priority of “gathering with friends” is natural just lowered.
This may also be one of the reasons why some people cannot stay out of work for a long time, because once they stop working, social relationships will be broken. Coupled with the lack of hobbies, without a high-frequency interactive group, it is easy to become more and more alienated.
