Why Is It So Hard to Make Friends in Your 20s?

Making friends in your 20s can feel surprisingly hard. You can meet people, have group chats, follow people online, and still find yourself wondering, “Why do I feel so lonely?” In this video, we’re talking about why friendship feels different as we get older, why making genuine connections can be harder in your 20s, and how social media has changed the way we connect with people. But more importantly, we’ll talk about how to actually make friends as an adult from turning acquaintances into real friendships, being willing to initiate, being curious about people, and allowing friendships to develop naturally. If you’ve been feeling lonely, struggling to make new friends, or wondering where you’re supposed to find your people in your 20s, this conversation is for you. Maybe you don’t need more people. Maybe you just need more genuine connection. 💬 Have you found it harder to make friends in your 20s? And where have you met your closest friends?
