Title is long because of the sub rules.
Basically, if so many people are having a hard time makings friends as adults, why then are so many people trying to find the answer? Is there a problem with people after a certain age where they no longer are as approachable, but simultaneously wishing other people were?
What really is the secret sauce? If you don’t work in an industry that allows you to make friends at work, where then do you meet people? Are kickball leagues really the answer? I try to be an open person, and I feel like I can chop it up with just about anyone, but I never really get past home plate with most people I’m just trying to make future plans with.
I don’t want superficiality, I genuinely want some bros and I have none.
