Summary

Friendship as an adult can be hard. Everyone is busy, and you find yourself surrounded by co-workers who have nothing in common with you, or neighbors you don't like. You know you're great at friendship, and you love having a solid social group, but it feels like everyone you care most about is drifting and less available than ever before…busy pursuing a new relationship, starting a family or chasing a work career in a city that’s far away from you. You stay in touch, but it's just not the same. Or maybe you are surrounded by people, but you can't find "your people," you know, the group where you fit in and really feel like yourself and like you belong. The good news is that you're not alone, and that friendship doesn't have to be that hard. This episode will help you feel more confident in your proactive pursuit of being a social network that is right for you and that increases the satisfaction you feel in the day-to-day life you are living.
