Build a supportive community and cultivate authentic, long-lasting friendships at every stage of life with this guide, a Foreword INDIE Awards GOLD Winner for Family & Relationships, now updated with new tips and advice for making friends in a post-pandemic world.

Many people find it challenging to make friends as an adult, and even more so in our increasingly online world. It sometimes seems like everyone has a big, happy, fulfilling social life, full of lifelong friendships...except you. As we grow older and school friendships fade, it can be difficult to meet new people and cultivate meaningful friendships. How do you strike up a conversation with a stranger? How do you move from mutual acquaintances to real friends?

Here to Make Friends has the answers to all of these questions and more. Written by a licensed therapist, this book is packed full of helpful advice and tips to overcome social anxiety and start building a stronger social circle, such as:

  • Strategies for connecting meaningfully with other people

  • Tips for moving past small talk

  • Advice for getting out of your own head

  • Suggestions for fun and memorable "friend dates"

Now with a new Author's Note and updated content to address how a global pandemic and online friendship apps have shaped the ways in which we make friends, Here to Make Friends is the perfect companion for moving past the sometimes-lonely post-school stage and into lasting, fulfilling friendships.
