Re: Making friends as an adult? - July 10th 2022, 07:35 PM

I find making friends really hard actually. I only really have two people I consider close friends and I've known one of them since I was 5, and she introduced me to the other. For me I guess I never really know how to go from knowing a person, to being friends with a person. I don't know when you cross that threshold. I also find it hard balancing time with my existing friends, andtime with new friends, as I'm alredy so used to one that spending time with new people is hard and draining for me. I have been making an effort to go out with work colleagues more, such as at work socials, which is something I never did at any other job, but for me it's always uncomfortable as I'm not good at socialising in the slightest. I think I'm a fairly nice person but I guess my lack of social skills and inability to pick up on social cues very well mean I'm not super approachable to others
