Can you survive without friends?

 

It’s very simple; no one can survive without friends. Friends are everything and sometimes, they’re more important than family.

Let’s say, that you moved a new city and you knew absolutely no one. What would you?

For sure, you wouldn’t kill yourself. Let’s be creative.

As a kid, I’d visit my grandma and she would call the neighbors’ children over to play with me. That actually worked very well. However, don’t try calling anyone through your windows nowadays because most likely they will think you’re a weirdo.

Let’s assume you have job. Having a job makes things very easy because you can connect with people you work with and you’ll instantly have a common bond. I moved to Hartford without a job or friends, imagine that. But I didn’t give up and I definitely didn’t go coo-coo!

Google. Nowadays, Google is everyone’s best friend. So go ahead and search for networking events at local bars. Worst-case scenario, you might end up with a date! (Don’t forget to look fabulous no matter what you do).

Find a cool gym close to your house. Oh yes ladies and gents you have to work out dat butt! Put that effort in to keep looking hot and stay healthy! Try to avoid meatheads that pump their muscles while working out (Believe me, unless you do the same, don’t try be friends with them).

Become a volunteer. Volunteering not only serves a great cause but it also allows you connect with other people that share the same interests while helping to improve your social image.

Be a regular at your local bar. Now I don’t mean that you should become an alcoholic. I’m saying that you should find a bar that appeals to people close to your age and go there at least twice a week. Side note – don’t forget to talk to people around you. Don’t be that miserable person who always drinks alone at the bar. Oh, and make sure you have a few good ‘one-liners’ and jokes; humor always attracts people.

In any case, do not forget to smile. And please do not forget to put on your smell-goods before you start socializing (I hate people that smell bad).

If those tips do not work for you, let me know and I will try to come up with other ways to survive.

Feel free to share your story and personal experience with me. I love to hear stories!

Until next time, make more new friends and have a pedi!
