For many, it seemed easy to make friends as a child. As you grew older and entered middle school (and later, high school), making friends wasn’t always easy (thanks to the socially awkward years).
As an adult, it seems even more difficult to make friends. As a socially awkward human, finding that niche hasn’t been easy. You’re seen as too normal, not normal enough, too weird, not weird enough. The list goes on. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
While some may find it easy to make new friends (I’ve known a few people who have the ability to make new friends in a nanosecond), not all of us have that ability. From playgroups to storytimes to apps (like Peanut), there are many ways that a parent (and child) can interact with others. What are some of your favourite ways to meet new people?
