Meeting New Friends at Any Age

Making new friends came so naturally when we were younger, didn’t it?

Between school, career, and community groups, we naturally found ourselves in environments that were conducive to building new connections.

As we get older, socializing can fall to the bottom of our list of priorities. And building new relationships requires us to drop our guard, open our hearts, and be vulnerable – which can be no easy feat when emotional scarring has accumulated from previous relationships!

Whether you’re in a situation where you’re forced to immerse yourself in a new community (many of us are relocating post-pandemic to be closer to our kids!), or you’re simply wanting to banish toxic relationships from your life, I’m here to share that it’s NEVER too late to start afresh and make new friends.

If you need a little extra encouragement, consider this: putting in the effort to strengthen our existing social ties and establish new friendships is proven to be a worthwhile endeavour. Science has shown that having healthy relationships can boost our immune system and help us to live longer, more fulfilling lives.

So whether you’re a recent transplant to a new city, or you’re ready to expand your inner circle, here are some easy ways you can make new friends at any age.
