How to Make Friends as an Adult

Today on the Pod, Emily, Helen, and Amy discuss how to make friends - and as a trio of introverts, we found this topic particularly interesting. Did you know there was such a thing as a Friendship Coach? Why is it so easy to make friends as a kid? At what point do we find it difficult to find and connect to new people?

Everyone can agree that friendships make life easier - look at the Steep Hill Experiment! But how do you find those people?

One thing that stood out was to be your authentic self. Kelly Bandas wrote in her book Rookie Mistakes: A Grown-Up's Field Guide for Getting Your Act Together, “What does matter is that we use our time together as a means of investing in our relationship, helping each other feel seen, and hopefully having some laughs while we do it.”

Speaking of making friends! Want to meet other listeners of Nothin' But Fine? Emily, Helen, and Amy are attending the next Columbus Symphony Orchestra performance on November 18. Titled From Mozart to the Birds, the musicians' talent and artistry will blow you away, and it is a great way to make new friends! We hope to see you there!
