Making Friends as an Adult Is Genuinely Hard and Nobody Talks About How Hard It Actually Is

When you're a kid, friendships just happen. You're thrown into the same room as other kids and you figure it out. When you're an adult — especially an adult who's moved away from where you grew up, has two kids, works full time, and coaches sports — making real friends is a completely different thing. And most people just quietly stop trying and call it being busy.Robbie opens this one with possibly the most memorable diaper story in TUF history — fair warning — before getting into something that's been genuinely on his mind: the slow drift away from real friendships that happens almost invisibly as life gets bigger and busier, and what he's trying to do about it before the drift becomes permanent.Topics covered: why adult friendships fade and why most people don't talk about it, what parenthood does to your social life that nobody prepares you for, Robbie's honest reflection on becoming more reclusive than he wants to be, the difference between having acquaintances and having actual friends, and what intentional friendship actually looks like when you're 37 with three kids and zero free time.Send a message about the episode!
