Making Friends: Get Meaningful Connections In Your Life
This episode covers something important to all of us, friends. So many people today are struggling with loneliness, lack of connection, and feeling stuck when it comes to making friends. This episode is intended to help you create a plan to find new connections and live a more fulfilling life through having other people to connect with. So let’s jump in and see how we do it.
Time Stamps:
● 01:13 – "We need to have more connection and less isolation. Not just finding someone to love but beyond."
● 04:40 – "You need to put some effort into it to make any relationship work, both personally and professionally."
● 10:05 – "When you make new friends, you can then make additional friends from their circles."
● 15:30 – "I don’t want you to be afraid of not knowing what to do. I want you to have steps, tips, and ideas."
● 20:32 – "Start to set up scenarios. You can start a conversation. Think before you go to an event: What are three things about yourself you want to share with somebody else?"
● 28:25 – "Exchanging that contact information sets you up to be able to develop that relationship."
● 30:47 – "People are attracted to happy people."
Here are some tips for making friends:
● Start a conversation: Share something about yourself, and ask open-ended questions to encourage the other person to open up.
● Be a good listener: Make eye contact, smile, and show interest in what the other person has to say.
● Be open: Share small, personal things about yourself to give the other person permission to be open with you.
● Do a small favor: Small acts of kindness can lead to intimacy and connection.
● Stay in touch: Exchange numbers and call or message the other person later. Ask if they'd like to get together again.
● Join a club: Clubs are a great way to meet people with similar interests.
● Join a Meetup group: Attend Meetup events for your hobbies to meet like-minded people.
● Accept invitations: If someone invites you to do something, try to make it happen.
● Volunteer: Helping others can make people feel good and more open and positive.
● Build confidence: Wear something that makes you feel comfortable in your own skin.
