To make friends, it's essential to overcome both overt avoidance, where fear keeps you at home, and covert avoidance, where you physically show up but mentally check out. Engaging with people is crucial in building connections; it's not just about showing up. Being authentic and genuinely interested in others, rather than trying to be funny or charismatic, is key to forming friendships. The theory of infertitraction suggests that people are drawn to those who they believe are similar and make them feel loved and valued, highlighting that changing your personality is not necessary to make friends.
