In my 23 years I’ve never had friends and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I have really bad social anxiety so I might be awkward but I don’t think I’m necessarily mean. How can I approach people without seeming like a weirdo?

  1. Friendships take a mixture of social chemistry and work. It can also be harder to make friends as an adult, since people have less time to socializing than they did in college of school.

    My advice is to try to find social activities that you enjoy. Scrolling through your profile, it looks like fitness is important to you, so joining a fitness class of some kind could be helpful. Martial arts are also a great way to build community as many of them emphasize a tight-nit community through shared growth.

    I’d say the biggest thing is to meet people who are also interested in making friends. Sites like MeetUp can be great for this since everyone is there to make friends.

  2. Have you tried making friends? Actively putting yourself out there, asking colleagues classmates etc to hang out? Joining a club or activity?
