Making friends isn’t just for kids. As adults, we all need meaningful connections. Face it, finding new pals can be tough.

Whether you’ve moved to a new city, changed jobs, or simply drifted apart from old friends, building a social circle takes effort.

Here are ways to meet people, start conversations, and turn acquaintances into lasting friendships.

Why Friendship Matters

Friends make life better. They celebrate your wins, support you through tough times, and share laughs over silly jokes. A social network is linked to better mental and physical health. It can help you live longer.

As we get older, making friends gets harder. We’re busier with work. We feel set in our ways. We’re out of practice meeting new people. Whatever the reason, many find themselves feeling isolated.

It’s never too late to make new connections. With some effort and the right approach, you can build a circle of friends at any age.
