but life can feel much more isolated once you’ve left the campus bubble. This experience leads many people to believe it’s “impossible” to make friends after college

why is it so challenging to make friends after college? Every person has their specific struggles
but we’ve identified two general reasons this process is so dang difficult: Lack of Proximity. When you’re in college
you have constant opportunities to strike up conversations and bond over shared interests. Even at rather large universities
it’s common for everyone to live near each other during their first couple of years. This naturally makes it easier to find friends. After college
however
people disperse. Even if you live with roommates
you’re still in contact with a much smaller pool of potential friends overall. Therefore
you have to be more intentional about your social life and meeting new people. People Are Busier. Once you graduate
you most likely have a job that takes up 8-10 hours of your day (if you include commuting time). And after a stressful day of work
going out to socialize is the last thing many people want to do. Additionally
after college people start to get married or more involved in serious relationships. These take up time on their own

I want you to remember this: making friends after college isn’t a smooth process. Don’t beat yourself up if you’re struggling
as few people find this “easy.” And don’t expect instant results
either. Developing new friendships takes time
and you can’t rush the process. With that said
here are eight methods we’ve found useful for making friends after college: Join Something. I’ve given this piece of advice many times
but it bears repeating. Joining an organization of some kind is one of the best ways to make new connections that can then develop into friendships. The advantages are numerous. First
having a shared goal or interest makes it much easier to strike up a conversation. That isn’t to say you should only discuss whatever it is you’re part of (that can get weird after a while). But it’s much easier than starting from scratch with a stranger. Beyond that
organizations provide structure and activities that can remove a lot of the pressure to constantly socialize. This is especially true if you’re shy by nature and are uncomfortable having long conversations with strangers. What should you join? That’s up to you
but here are some ideas to get you started: Adult sports leagues Climbing gym (or another social gym such as Crossfit) Volunteer organizations Local Meetup groups Your neighborhood association Your local chamber of commerce Religious organizations Book clubs. Hang Out in the Same Place. The most effective tactic I’ve found for meeting new people and making friends is to hang out in the same place(s) regularly. In my case
I go to the same coffee shop and brewery a couple of times a week. Through hanging out there and chatting with the staff and fellow patrons
I’ve met most of my current friends in Denver. You can apply the same approach wherever you live. While you don’t have to pick a bar or cafe as your spot
those are some of the best places since they’re naturally social and tend to have repeat customers. When you’re in such a space
of course
you have to put forth some effort. Show that you’re open to meeting new people by projecting open body language
smiling
and generally being friendly. And
most importantly of all
take off your headphones! You can’t expect to strike up a conversation if your ears are closed. Make Friends with Your Coworkers. No matter what you do for work
your coworkers are obvious potential friends.
