When we were little making new friends was much easier. Kids by nature are welcoming, curious and willing to talk to other kids simply because they enjoy playing together.
As we grow older it becomes harder to organically find new people we can just pick up as strangers and start friendships. There are more issues to consider such as the whos, the whys and the whens.
It can be exhausting to feel excluded, ignored or simply just passed on. But the key is to open our hearts and zoom into those individuals who show us they are available and willing to be there. Those who simply acknowledge you are someone worth getting to know.
So look harder for quality vs quantity on how many friends surround you. Focus and spend your energy on those people who choose you! And of course be present for those who answer your calls, texts and send you invitations. Be present for them and most importantly make yourself available.
