As we enter adulthood, there are some pretty large shifts and pretty large lifestyle changes that we all seem to experience. I found living in a large dormitory or a college is almost just like social steroids. It's completely unnatural to be surrounded by that many people. And if that's your first experience straight out of high school or kind of straight out of your teenage years it's a bit of a rude awakening when things start to change. That was a big reason why I think we see this decline in the quantity of friends that we have in this decade.
This week we discuss how to make new friendships in our 20’s. We all can recognise how hard it is to make friends as we enter adulthood but what does psychology actually say about this struggle and why is it so difficult as we move beyond our school years into work and the real world.
