(New York Times Column, “Here To Help”)
Looking to make more friends?
Here are 5 ideas:
ANSWER THE QUESTION: “I AM ____?” Such as a mom, a gardner, a book lover. Join communities that reflect your attributes.
BECOME A REGULAR: The more times you show up where people gather, the more opportunities you have to make a connection.
GET CLOSER TO YOUR NEIGHBORS: To meet your neighbors, try doing them a small kindness.
JOIN A GROUP: Push yourself to join an existing group in which a friend is already a member.
CONTACT A PERSON WHO HAS HELPED YOU IN YOUR LIFE: Contact them and tell them how you appreciate their previous kindness. Maybe, it will form a closer bond.
