👨‍🏭👩‍🏫👮‍♀️🧒 - is it me or does anyone feel like it’s harder/you’re not as interested in making close friends later in life (30+). Not to brag, but I have a LOT of friends, but am not interested to find more

Friendship is a commitment. Just because you have lots of “friends” it does not mean you have friends.

From 30-50 it's likely harder to make friends because everyone is so busy with their careers and families. Once the kids grow up, more people get social again.

You don’t make friends by working hard. Just like you don’t find love by working hard. Those things are supposed to happen on their own.
