INSIGHT

Proximity Is The Biggest Barrier

  • Adult friendship scarcity usually comes from lack of proximity and routine overlap.
  • Change your routine and put yourself out there to create more friendship opportunities.
ADVICE

Use Early Vulnerability

  • Share a small vulnerability early to accelerate closeness with a new person.
  • Use humanizing details so the other person feels safe to reciprocate.
ADVICE

Run A Friendship System Update

  • Give long‑standing friendships a ‘system update’ by intentionally reintroducing current selves.
  • Ask fresh questions and add novelty to move past old patterns like only reminiscing.
