Tips for Making New Friends?
This is kinda cringe I know but I thought I'd give it a shot. Do any of y'all have tips for making new friends as someone in their 20s?
I'm a remote worker so I don't really need to leave my house anymore or interact with people. I've decided to start working for a few hours outside of my house and just hoping I have good luck.
But other than that does anyone have any tips? This could be for in person or online. Never really had online friends either as I usually just lurk and don't say anything (but I'm slowly trying to change that). Like I have discord but I only talk to 3 people who I know irl and I don't understand how people find servers to join.
As someone who used to be very introverted, i’ll give you my 5 cents! (i’m aware how long this is mb)

I don't know, when i was younger it was easy to make friends, but now i can't seem to get to know people, i try but either i am not interesting enough or they are the ones with the problem, and i start to think that the people i befriended in my younger days may have not liked me very much or even liked me at all.

You can even invite them to other volunteer works. After doing a few activities together (make sure to know their other interests during these times) you can then invite them to do other thin...... 1 reply
Smile be forward and start a conversation. Ask about their interests and about themselves .That's how I make friends. And most important don't fake it if you genuinely like them and want to be friends be yourself 1 reply
How i made my best friends is that i went up to both of them and started a conversation and later on they reciprocated my gesture. In my opinion, to make friends you can either go up to someone and talk to them in a social setting (more likely the person will reciprocate) or you can wait for someone to come up to you in a social setting (i think th...... reply
ask a lot of questions and not ice breaker questions like what’s your color, find a common interest and expand on it if possible. there’s still a lot of things to do around the areas like volunteering or joining a book club where you could have opportunities to meet new people, all up into your interest. be the person that you want people to be...... 1 reply

Well if you want to make friends irl, i would suggest you pick up a hobby that will allow you to meet more people. It could be any type of class, group, volunteer stuff, ect. Be open to talk to others. You don't really have to start a conversation you can maybe join an ongoing group conversation. Start with some small talk and be friendly. Eventual...... reply
