After many, many years of avoiding most of my neighbors I have spent the last year forcing myself to befriend and actually get to know the people around me (we moved here a year ago so new scenery new outlook I guess). One neighbor sucks butt, three neighbors are awesome, another neighbor is weird (like, weird for me), the new family is great but with something Mormon-y about them.

It's really nice. I like these people and I'm glad they're around my family.

My story; I recently switched jobs and I hadn't met any of my coworkers due to corona.

I saw a coworkers Volvo V60 (my dream car) was up for grabs and I was the only one who showed interest in taking it, so I went by his house to see it; We started talking and it turned out we shared a lot of common interests; BBQ, Beers, Whiskey & sigars. He mentioned that he and some other coworkers had a little club and they got together for slowcooking sessions! I instanly became best friends with half the management at my company!

I'm not 30+ yet (28), but I've had good luck with just dating. We're all pretty lonely and if you go into the first date with the attitude to find a friend rather than a life-long companion, you'll usually have some pretty good luck.

A good question. Being 30+ , I do find it more difficult to make friends these days. Covid doesn't help the situation.

But it comes down to finding people with similar interests or a shared activity. And just putting yourself out there a bit. Some times you might fall flat on your face. But most of the time you start a conversation with someone and go from there.

1If you have at least one friend, or know any other humans that you feel you can stand for longer than a few hours, find similar interests you have and this can lead to them introducing you to other people with the same interest (music, sports, gaming, etc.)

2NEVER turn down an invitation. Even if you're not feeling up to it, or feeling lazy, just go. You can always leave if you're not feeling it. But perhaps you might end up meeting someone who has the potential for friendship!

Its obviously hard now with COVID and so many social restrictions, but hang in there!

Those are some niche interests. Its extremely rare for two men to share those interests. Chance a million.

Join clubs of activities you enjoy. Talk to the people at your job. Write a message to your old classmates or friends. Meet your neighbours.

Agreed. Also you can find likeminded people that way... volunteering or getting a part time job in something you are actually interested might help to. I think getting out there is tough enough but to actually make a friend you'll have to break the ice and take "the next step" by asking a person to hang out with you. Friend date!

I gained a new group of friends by getting super involved with people organizing our neighborhood! I was super nervous to go (and made my partner go with me to the first meeting) but now I consider them some of my closest friends after just a year and a half. Find something you're interested in or that you're wanting to know more about and join in casually. Right now is a really great time to do it, too with everything on zoom.

Never fake yourself once you are making friends and what you are doing FORCING YOURSELF to be friend is a total Fake move.

If you want to have friend so Just be your self , be truthful . BEcause the word FRIEND is far different from having a NEIGHBOOR because friend is someone who knows you more and you knows Him more .

So Let it be, if they will become your friend then thanks but of not then they don't deserve your friend .

When I am 30 years old, I may not be willing to actively make friends. I will only keep in touch with old friends. New friends may be introduced through old friends.

When I was 30, I would meet new people through my work, or when I travelled.

I am still at my 20+ so I am a bit curious about your question does it change how you interact and make friends as you grow older?
Isn't it the same you talk and find some things you like in common and continue to talk about it and then boom you just made a new friend.
Because that is how I usually made some friends ever since I was a kid I would talk to other person or they would talk to me and we would find something that is common to us and we would hang out and keep some updates.

You make friends with people who have the same interest as you. You join clubs or get to join webinars with the subject that you're interested with.

Like for people who likes to know more about cryptocurrency, you'll meet many people there but you're only going to talk with a few of them and another few for the keeps. I think you have found good people based from your description.

by removing my ego and a little pride...
When we first moved into my house now, my husband and I are new people in our neighborhood, there are no friends or relatives, we are trying our best to attract the sympathy of our neighbors so that they can accept us in this environment and it works, I am grateful to have neighbors who are quite attentive to us.

I do not know.
I am now in my twenties, and the way to make friends is work and study.
There is no other way.

Maybe through work, make some work partners,
Maybe through travel, I met some like-minded friends.
Probably through introduction, friends of friends.

The circle of friends over 30 has basically stabilized.
Those who can chat are friends who have been for many years.
Basically, everyone does not have time to meet new people, to understand new people.
The easiest way is to work with a partner.

When you hang out with friends, you will meet some new friends.
Everyone will bring new friends, and through communication, they will make new friends.

1. Who you are, you will attract whom.
2. Do a good job in self-improvement, you can re-establish your sense of worth through reading, yoga, and writing. Participate in book clubs, such as Fan Deng Book Club.
3. Distinguish the difference between the circle of concern and the circle of influence. A circle of interest means you can only comment. Things you can't change that can only be sulking but useless. Circles of influence are things that you can change within your power.

Enrich your hobbies and make friends with common fans! Allow yourself to be involved in all aspects, so that you can catch everyone's interest, establish a common language, and develop friendships! The field of people involved in hobbies is quite large, so this is a good platform for you to make friends! Now there are various interest groups on the Internet, you can add more groups of your own interests, so you can make many friends!

Birds of a feather flock together. Similar interests naturally have common topics, and the process of language communication can reflect a person's temperament and accomplishments, and a deeper understanding of each other can be developed from this. If two people don’t have a common language, there will only be awkward silence when they get together. This is not suitable for being friends.

I won’t take the initiative to expand my circle of friends when I’m about 30 years old, because I’m more inclined to maintain previous friendships. I always believe that there are few friends but good ones, and they don’t need too much. I am willing to help you when you are in difficulty. Is the true friend.

Almost 30, but I think getting along with the neighbors are pretty much not my best suit. Im pretty shy. I dont really approach any one that I dont know. I will just simply wait till something happen that might interest me to approach anyone.

People after the age of 30 have more family responsibilities and may also be struggling for their careers, and it may be less easy to give so much real affection.

I think the best way to connect with people once you are older is to find similar minded people who enjoy the same things you like. For example, if you are into sports you could just join a sports team and connect with people their, or if you are into playing games there are usually gaming groups in bigger cities who meet once or twice a month to play board games. I meet quite a few cool people like that. Of course now with the corona pandemic everything might be a bit limited.

It is a great success if you find friends who become your close friends after 30 years of your life. If you find such friends after 30 years, then you are on the right path, and the universe is throwing you such gifts! :)

I don’t have anything to do with my neighbours really. Other than signing for their parcels & vice versa I don’t wish to have any real relationship with mine. I’m polite & stuff but I don’t want to befriend them.

No matter how old you are, if you want to make friends, it is easy. You can try to give a smile to them as a start. After that, you can ask about the situations around you or you can ask what he did.

You can imagine yourself as a child, where you do not know everyone, but you want to know and have a big curiosity about one thing. You can watch a kid, how they interact with someone new to them. I think you will have an idea how to start to make friends with other people. If you are an open mind with other people, it will not be too difficult to start.

If you want to make new friends, then you can travel worldwide and make the international friends by meeting them. You can participate in the networking session that happen in some places, you can make friends of your locality where you stay , in gym, or sports which you play, classes, etc.

Depend on how the communication goes, and not because you conversate with the person meaning you are already friends .

Remember friends means you and Him has been in good terms together and has many compatible likes , because interests makes us friends .

I still think the best friends are relatives! It's not that I don't like making new acquaintances or making friends, I just like the fact that in a family circle people are united not only by trust, such people are usually much more trustworthy

Birds of the SAME feather Flocks Together.

when you say "MAKING FRIENDS" meaning you must the one to adjust and you have no need to look for your same interest .

Specially if you are new in a community , better adjust to be with them or find another place to stay.
There is no need to be together everytime , there are certain time that we will be needing the person and same as He will need us at some point.

I'm not over 30 but its hard to make new friends.. I have many friends from my childhood, but can't call somebody friend who I recently met.
The new people who you met are not friends, it must spend so much time with them to can call them friends, which in the adulthood its hard because you have job, chords, family, kids.. you can't spend some time with somebody who you just met, so I think its hard to make new friends when you are older..

When you are 30, you definitely must have had some bad experiences with people in general or friends, if you have never had an experience, you probably must have heard a story. Because of this sometimes, you are not generally open to everyone and you selectively choose people you mingle with.

To make new friends, you must be selective and intentional about the friends you keep, you must identify individuals who will make good friends fit for you and your growth and development and then you must be social, hospitable and give people a chance.

Even though it seems daunting, making friends in your thirties is an essential.,Here's how to go about it.
Tap friends of friends.
Compliment someone.
Be consistent.
Use an app.
Get real real fast.
Reconnect with old friends.
Keep your expectations low.

It sounds like you have a good living situation because my 2 neighbors are mean old people and I dont ever talk to them.  Honestly I only know 1 of the womens names because I get her mail sometimes.   

This is unfortunate because if there was ever a emergency with my family and I was not home I dont think I could rely on them to call the authorities if I need their help.

There are always going to be people who we find are weird.  Just best you avoid them tan let them be.

My 2 neighbours are both old and both has alcohol problems

How would your neighbors know you needed help if you weren't home?  :P

You make friends the same way as when you are young; common interests.  By thirty, you've usually decided what your interests will be, removing the majority of potential friends you could have going forward.   You also no longer hang out with people your exact age during the majority of the day either.

End result is, you have to do more work that just catching the eye of another person and saying "Dude! right??"  Join communities that share all your interests, not just specific financial ones.   Get to know your neighbors - I received lots of first hand information of an audit that took place from a neighbor of a ponzi scammer. 

book clubs? roleplaying game campaigns?

I have no friends haha

In fact, it all depends on your mood, if you have a good mood, if you do everything right, try to show your best qualities, then friends will appear by themselves.

Looks like your advice does not focus in making friends in 30's instead that deserves in making friends in general?

But all of those i think this is the Best and accurate towards the discussion.

I have the same problem actually. I moved to a strange place since I started considering living near my wife's family. Her father demanded her be near them so she can take care of him, the father just sits in a wheelchair all the time. I never know some neighbor and the only i know are the guys I hired to fix faucets and the nearby grocery store guys.

I began making friends when I go with my kid going to the park every afternoon to play with the rest of the kids in the neighborhood. One day an invite to a gathering and started to have more friends. The school of my kid also introduces me to parents I can talk to. Not the kind of friends you will have when you are back in your hometown but yes it would work that you can have a beer with them sometimes.

Everything starts like that make but eventually we will use to it.

I have been in that same case back then , and yeah we are both a visitor in our wives territory but now ? after long years ? it feels like this place is also mine.

Just be yourself and never pretend to be Good when the truth is not.

People will like you for what you are and not for what you wanna be.

You sure that you have no friends? I don't believe you. How about your relatives, don't you consider them as your friend aside from being a relative of yours?

Looking for a friend isn't about impressing others. I agree to reatim that you just have to be true to yourself.

Really hard.
I thing until 30 everybody must have some serious and real friends until this age.
If I need to search for new friends in this years it will be pretty hard for me.. probably impossible..
I even don't know where to meet them :D My friends are my friends from childhood and school and collage. There is nobody who I have met recently and to be friend with him.. 

That's for sure. I also have no new friends, except for old friends. And I don't even know where to look for them. Well, probably you need to start with travel. For example, collective trips to the forest, mountains. Trips to the sea, group trips to historical sites. In short, where there are a lot of people who also do not mind meeting someone.
