Practical Ways to Make Friends + Put Yourself Out There

From the Blog Post: HOW TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS: 8 WAYS TO PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE (read the post or take a listen to episode 10 or just listen in)

In this episode we talk about how it can be hard to make new friends as an a adult and why. We also chat about making friends in terms of living in the same place versus internationally and give tactical ways to put yourself out there and spark invitations and conversations to make new friends.

NOTES:

- Working versus staying at home and how that affects making friends.

- Why it may be hard to make new friends when you live in one place.

- The perception we have of making friends and how it holds us back.

- Some times you have an establishment to help you make the effort but sometimes it's on you to make the effort.

- How you put yourself out there if you aren't the kind of person who puts themselves out there.

- Getting out of the friend rut.

- New friends, new conversations.

TAKEAWAYS:

1. Don't Persume (LOL. a word Husband made up) that everyone's busy and ask.

2. You have to make the effort.

3. Find your thing and invite people to join you.

4. Let go of the outcome. Put it out there and don't let a NO mean anything.
