Making new friends as an adult can feel exhausting, especially when the roles that once shaped your social life begin to change. Start by figuring out what gets your juices flowing, then see who else shows up.

How much of your life is influenced by what you think someone else might think? We give other people’s opinions a lot of power, sometimes before they have even expressed one.
