How to make friends in 30s

The time to form friendships gets over as soon as you get out of college. You're only going to have acquaintances from here on.

It's the same as making friends at any other age. Take part in activities where people your age hang out, talk to them, show interest in their lives, and share things about your own life.

Join Meetup groups, take hobby classes - music, art, take cooking classes, join traveling groups, date women on dating apps - some of those dates can lead to friendships instead of romance, chat with people in other teams in your office whom you don't work with etc. etc.

Any human being whom you repeatedly see and talk to, can become a friend with time.

But I'm sure what I've said above is common sense, and that you already know all this. So what part of making friends are you struggling with?

I think the problem is not making friends in 30s but maintaining the friendship. You need have friends who match your mental frequency. The low efforts friends. Who don't create a fuss when you can't pick up their calls or don't reply for days or cancel plans. Because they understand adulting. You don't need to be in constant touch but even if you talk once a month it picks up how you left it. We all got jobs and families and in addition to it life keeps throwing one ball after another. You will have depressive episodes where you would just want to bed rot and not move a muscle and you'll have my life is amazing and I'm gonna dande it out. And your friends, true friends are understand both

When I first moved to Hyderabad, I stayed in a double-sharing PG. I’m actually an introvert but I started talking to my roommate first. Then I slowly began chatting with his friends too 😂. Eventually, they started calling me for a walk after dinner every night… Later, when I changed my room, the same thing happened again. My roommate went home for a while, so the room went up for one-day sharing, and I met new people, some even in their late 30s or 40s. We used to go for late-night walks around 1–2 AM, just sitting and talking. I still have their numbers, though we don’t talk much now since I prefer talking in person. Somehow, phone conversations just don’t feel the same. For me, it’s never about age, it’s about gestures. If I see someone eating alone, I’ll just sit with them, ask how they’re doing, and chat a bit. Sometimes, all it takes is a small smile, that’s what really makes the difference….

Real answer - You don't. Not enough shared context after college
