Making friends

Question

Why is it so difficult to make friends nowadays? It’s like everyone stopped caring about others and only care about themselves

Kyle · Accepted Answer

I think it's nice that folks are waking up to the notion that a consumerist, materialistic, instant gratification society produces sh*tty people 🥰

Kristen · Answer

Don't give up trying. I felt the same, but in the last year I met my ride or die Person. The right tribe is out there for you.

Eric · Answer

Life can be overwhelming. It seems like the older you get the harder it can be to make time for friends. And the more times someone has been hurt, the harder it is for them to open back up for friends. It is survival to care only about themselves. There does seem to be a lot more entirely self centered people though.

JJ · Answer

I think there’s just so much going on in the world and we’re all so connected now when it hadn’t been possible in the past so it’s kind of like a lot of people are a bit overloaded, not sure how to navigate the social landscape, etc

Agent X · Answer

people are on survival mode. can you blame them?

Jaime · Answer

People just let the system brain wash them into separation. They need to open there eyes and see people for who they really can be. Unity is a beautiful thing. 🥲

Dominick · Answer

I feel that way as well. People who I worked with for years haven't hit me up once to see how I am or if I wanna chill or something

Chris · Answer

No one responds to me , I can be a friend until death but no one cares , so your loss.

Juan · Answer

Depends on the social circles around you. There could be good people outside of them

Ross · Answer

Dissolution of third spaces, close communities, monetization of every human interaction through an app. You know, capitalism.

Alex · Answer

Part of that is natural especially as we age and become busy with our responsibilites. Keep in mind that a LOT of other people feel the same way. There may be 2 people that want to connect but neither will initiate it. Don't be that person just try and you may be surprised.

Szy · Answer

It's not them. It's you.

Ben · Answer

Found nowadays we've lost the merging of friend groups so allot of lost connection. That and everyone's so obsessed with image they are afraid to branch out or in my case over covid developed social anxiety 🙃

Aubrey · Answer

It’s hard to find kind people also. Seems here and there people wanting something sexual in conversations, Like I just want to talk to someone and have good non sexual talk

Booda · Answer

Kind of hard to make friends when you hate people in general.
Really in my opinion 7 out of 10 are a waste of space And that’s me being generous

Matthew · Answer

As we age we lose tolerance for things we find distasteful or unpleasant. It would be easier to make friends if i cared less about politics. Racism. Misogyny. The advancement of the human race. Etc. etc.

Riddhi · Answer

We all want the support, yet we find it challenging to be vulnerable.

Michael · Answer

Too picky maybe?  You 100% sure you want a friend?  No clue who you are so yeh pretty tough. Everything gets more difficult as soon as you reach adulthood sadly.  Oh well. Might have to face your fears and go hang out at a public event you're attracted to. Best of luck

Pedro Ramos · Answer

it's hard to find someone you can relate with and I hope you find the correct persons to have around your life

Robert · Answer

Little girl stop being woke

Jose Luis · Answer

It’s sad really… Now it’s like difficult to risk putting yourself out there to make new friends because it’s difficult to open yourself up. Only for them to be like nah I was just using you. You caught me so now I want nothing to do with you.

Abhshk · Answer

Agree 💯, 
Even i m clueless how to make one,  offline

Seenu · Answer

Reason is inflation and competition

Richie · Answer

That's because that is exactly what's happening. I think it is a little harder doing this whole virtual thing VS doing it IRL. It all feels. damn near impossible.

Dustin · Answer

The more phones give us the Lord it destroys our lives because we are addicted.

Also. Depends on male or female friends. People are very selfish these days.

Not many people are genuine.

Ozzy · Answer

If this isn't straight facts. People overall seem to care less and less for each other

Jose · Answer

I am always down to make new friends

Matt · Answer

I was literally just saying this to my brother. I miss having people in my life I connect with

Richard Phoenix · Answer

That's what happens when you go for the year idea that everyone can be an influencer if they really try it just shows how people seem only self-interested in oneself

Nikita · Answer

Going out and leaving your comfort zone are the ways to go if u feel alone, it's about presenting yourself and not others being necessarily a**holes, even tho many are. At our age people already have friend groups and many don't feel like changing their friend circle since they already have stuff going on in their lives, and new people = new risks, so how can you blame them aye?

Nina · Answer

People are so busy and don't trust anyone

Daniel · Answer

So obvious

Nathan · Answer

That's the whole human nature

Federico Barragan · Answer

I ask the same

Khiry · Answer

Want to be friends?

I don't know if it's the small town effect or manifesting good vibes but making friends seem to come easily now. It sounds cliché but it honestly starts with smile.

Making friends online can still feel challenging to click with people. Keep putting yourself out there and alike people will find you.

Ka-Ho · Answer
