Making Friends As An Adult Tips
Making friends is hard at any age but can be harder as an adult. For me for example, I struggled with the fact that my extra cirrucular activities in my schooling years (Grade 1-12) ended once I had graduated and become an adult. Here as a community, I thought we could share some tips for people who are in need of connections with other people but are finding in a bit difficult
Good post.Making friends back in school days were much easier. I found that church activity groups and events help, but it really does take imitative. People you meet through jobs tend to only be a friend during work. But you're right, making friends can be challenging as an adult.
I don't have any
It is harder as an adult, also due to how I've changed since high school. I didn't have much of a backbone, so I put up with meanness and usually just remained nice and did favors for people without getting much in return. I used my same nice tactic in college, but I've learned to trust my gut more because initially when I didn't, those people would become horrible and I dealt with more bullying, and I don't have time or energy for that. I do feel lonely because the few friends I do have don't have classes with me. I still try to be nice and smile and say hi, and small talk may happen. If it has substance or if I feel peaceful and happy, I know this person is good. If it's extremely superficial and I feel uneasy, I kindly excuse myself and get back to work.

HATERS....
so, i guess we all know "them" or have been "them"...by them , i mean those people who just makes your life living hell! those ones that are way more into YOUR life than their own.
they pretend to be someone they're not. smiling, greeting, interested in your affairs...only to realize that it's all just a big mask they wear on their faces because they are just so sad with their own lives.
i pity them, even thought, during my younger years, i've been one of them as well. i deeply feel sorry for such people, because when you find your own happiness in life, the reason for your existance, nothing can stop you, nothing will bring you down anymore. the sooner you can find that, the better.
...plus, who likes a bully anyway?
<3 lotsa love.
