People Are Sharing The Best Ways To Make Friends As An Adult

If you have a hard time making friends, you’re not alone. Well, I guess technically you are. But making friends as an adult is really hard. When you’re a kid, it’s easy to walk up to someone else around your age and ask them what their favorite animal is. As an adult, this is really creepy behavior that might make you more enemies than friends. 

For people who drink alcohol, there are a lot more opportunities for meeting people like bars or parties. It seems like most events are surrounded by alcohol, so for people who don’t drink, making friends is seemingly impossible. 

Someone on Ask Reddit asked readers to recommend ways to make friends that don’t involve alcohol. While some of the answers were things only total saints want to do, like volunteering, some users offered ideas like joining a sport, hobby group, or even joining video game groups. That seems a bit more my speed.
