Finding a reason to regularly meet up. It takes away the mental load of having to arrange a time to meet up. Do X with someone weekly/monthly and you’ll become friends if you get on.
I agree with this. I moved to a new city and struggled to make friends. I’m a natural introvert and kinda shy so reaching out for friendships doesn’t come naturally to me.
But I joined a language school class and made friends there. I joined a basketball team and made friends there too.
It seems weird but I’m starting to think that it’s as simple as if you interact someone once a week for a decent period of time and their personality is kinda compatible with yours then you become friends.
So if I was looking to make friends now, I’d look for a group activity with a weekly commitment that involves people who are likely to share some common interests.
