An old adage says that an old friend is better than two new ones. But what to do if friends have moved to live in another country, acquaintances have little time for you, and with colleagues you have nothing to talk about except work? Perhaps you just decided to start a new life and want to see in it new people who are close to you in spirit. Or maybe you yourself moved to another city or just realized that your past connections do not suit you, and you have long wanted to change your social circle.
Instructions
Step 1
In any case, before you start making new acquaintances, you must decide why you need it and what you expect from these people. The goals can be different - you need friends who are always ready to help. Or you are looking for people with similar interests and hobbies to share experiences and enjoy each other's successes. Perhaps you are striving to replenish your social circle with the right people, make useful contacts for business development or quickly resolve important issues. When you clearly define who you are looking for, you will know exactly where to look for these people and how to get to know them.
Step 2
If you're just feeling lonely and want to attract new people into your life, start by making yourself a hobby. Develop, start learning languages, take dance or yoga classes, take vocal lessons, sign up for cooking classes, get another college degree. The choice is yours. It doesn't matter what it will be, in any case you will find new acquaintances and change your social circle.
Step 3
Get yourself a social media page. Join communities and groups that interest you. Leave comments, like, meet new people, publish posts, attract users to your page and add them as friends. If you want to find useful acquaintances in a certain field, register on narrow-profile resources or on thematic forums. Start a profile on a dating site. In the future, an unsuccessful date can turn into a useful business contact.
Step 4
Attend exhibitions and concerts, start going to theater and cinema. Don't be afraid to go alone to a restaurant, nightclub or karaoke. All these places contribute to the expansion of the circle of friends. In a relaxed environment, people tend to be more willing to make contact. If you often see someone you like in the same place, feel free to meet first. To get started, casually share your opinion about a dish on the menu or your impression of the actors in the play. At the next meeting, greet the person you are already visually familiar with and start communicating.
Step 5
Take a good look around. Perhaps among the people you see every day, there is a person you have not yet considered. You’re probably going to work at the same time with the same people. Or go to a store and often meet the same person there. Park your car with someone or walk your dog at the same time. In any case, among these people there is a person with similar interests and outlook on life. Start saying hello and over time you will certainly move on to full communication.
Step 6
Everyone has people, communication with whom was interrupted long ago. Maybe you went to school or college together, started a career together, or are distant relatives and haven't seen each other for a hundred years. Time passes and people change. Find these people and resume communication, even if you were not completely satisfied with them before. Surely among them there will be someone who now shares your values or has followed the same path, and you will certainly find something to discuss.
