How I Actually Made Friends As An Adult

from Always Becoming: Real Stories of Resilience, Healing, & Growth · host Mikalen Cox

I used to genuinely think that if you didn't meet your friends in high school or college… you kind of just missed your opportunity. Making friends as an adult felt awkward, forced, and kinda intimidating. I never knew what to say, and it always felt like everyone already had their people. But over the past few years, that's actually changed a lot for me. I've met more people and built more of a community than I ever have before, which feels wild to say as someone in their late 20's! So in this episode, I'm talking through what shifted, how I actually started meeting people, and what helped me get out of my comfort zone to start making friends as an adult. I get into things like: why it feels so hard to make friends as an adult how my mindset around it changed how I actually met people building confidence socially when it doesn't come naturally why not every connection has to turn into a close friendship If you've ever felt like you don't really know how to meet people or where to start, you're definitely not the only one but the good news is that it doesn't have to be as hard as you think! ✨lets connect on instagram: @mikalen.co See if Volo is in your city and get $10 off your first league when you use the code BOAB21
