HOW I MADE FRIENDS 💓

Not to be annoying, but making friends has never been hard for me because I am very outgoing. I know a lot of people are more introverted so I thought maybe I could share some tips to help you!

I have friends in each place I have lived (upper peninsula of michigan, idaho, and metro detroit) and I have been able to maintain those friendships (maybe i’ll do a post on that soon!). I have made friends in a lot of different ways!

THE number one way I have made friends, especially in a city where I knew no one, was through social media. I am very active on social media and I feel like if people can see you are a real person and see a little of your personality, interests, etc it is easier to connect and then meet up in real life!

The other way I have made a lot of friends is by friending someone who already has a big friend group. One single friend has connected me to so many people. I met her because we are both dietitians and personal trainers. She had two roommates who I also became friends with. I became a part of their friend group and made friends with the rest of their friends, who I now hang out with even without the original friends.

One of the roommates got engaged, and we now are friends with her fiancés friends. It is all connected! We keep meeting more people through the web of friendships.

How do you make friends at a workout class?? I always chat with the people next to me or if we are put into groups, say a few things here and there. Then maybe exchange contact info to do another class together! Or if you’re like me, ask to take a post workout selfie after class and then ask their IG handle to tag them.

ACTIVITY IDEAS to ask someone to join you in:

-concert

-comedy show

-paint & sip

-sporting event

-workout class

-food tasting event

-art studio (we have one where you can paint ceramics)

-cooking class

Hope this helps!!
