But Where Are You Really From?: An Asian-American Struggle

139. Y U No Friend


Listen Later

Finding new friends is challenging at any age, but it seems to get

particularly more difficult as we get older.


As we age out of experiences and environments that are more conducive to socialization (i.e., school), we naturally find less opportunities to make friends. Even in areas like the workplace, most people seem less open to making friends outside of certain environments.


We also find that we are more conscious of the people we make friends with. We focus on finding connection over quantity, and we are inclined to not take a risk on a new friend if we don't think it's worth it. But that doesn't stop us from continuing to try and find new connections - whether at parties, cultural events, or just in our day-to-day lives.


Where have you found success in finding new friends? Write-in in the Spotify Q&A section or in our comments on social media!
