I really enjoyed this piece. Making friends as an adult can certainly feel like the Holy Grail, particularly the older we get.

It's not just men who have a hard time making friends. And as Jacquie says, it gets trickier the older you get.

Kudos to you for the efforts you're making. It's not easy and it can be scary, so go ahead and pat yourself on the back.

Love this, Julian. Also love bananagrams. And recently wrote myself about the challenges of finding friendship as a middle-aged widowed white cis woman. Maybe it's universal? https://www.celiachandler.com/blog/tolkientips
