Episode notes
Friendship Requires Active Effort
- Friendship in adulthood rarely happens organically like childhood friendships do.
- We must actively make an effort to build and maintain adult friendships.
Be Intentional and Engaged
- Join regular social groups to meet people repeatedly over time.
- Engage actively by showing genuine interest to overcome covert avoidance at events.

- People tend to like those who show interest first, not just the most attractive or playful.
