Reply to comment by lilacoceanfeather in Is it harder to find friends as an adult or is it just me? by britt_102689

Well said. It takes time! Even when you join a gym or a club, it can take months or even years for adult friendships to fully take root.

Yes -- no relationship develops overnight. You still need time and the right people, personalities, and schedules to form real, mutual connections with others.

With that in mind, you should be prepared to partake in activities and events that you actually enjoy, or at least be willing to put an honest effort in. Not everything you do will help you make a friend, or make a friend in that immediate moment. You should still continuously put yourself out there, though, and have fun while you do it!
