Initiating friendships and the power of repeated interaction
Initiating friendships by taking the first step and reaching out to potential friends can lead to long-lasting friendships. Joining activities or groups that involve repeated interactions over time increases the likelihood of forming connections and building trust. People tend to develop a liking towards others who are familiar to them. Even mere exposure to each other, without engaging directly, can contribute to building a connection. Overcoming the fear of rejection and initiating contact is important in forming friendships.
