How To Make Friends As An Adult

The gist

1. After a good conversation, suggest staying in touch on the spot, since most friendships never form because neither person takes that step.
2. Text within days to say it was good seeing them or propose a specific activity, because most people never follow up at all.
3. Share something real when someone asks how you are doing, since surface-level answers prevent the kind of connection that makes friendships last.
4. Hussey says strong friendships raise survival odds by 50% and give people the confidence to perform better across all areas of life.
