Insufficient time: As we get older, we usually have more things to deal with, such as taking care of our family, working or studying, which will make our time more tense and it is not easy to find opportunities to make new friends.
Differences in values: When we grow up, our values tend to change, which may lead to awkward interaction with old friends and make us find that we are less similar to some people.
Social pressure: In the workplace and social occasions, we have to face all kinds of competition and pressure, which may make us feel wary and alienated, and it is not easy to establish real friendship.
Changes in communication methods: With the development of science and technology, our communication methods are constantly changing, from face-to-face communication to chatting in the virtual world and praise and comments on social media. This change may affect our interaction and understanding with others, making it more difficult to find intimate friends.
Of course, even if it becomes more difficult to make friends when we grow up, we should not give up looking for real good friends. Have patience and confidence, actively participate in social activities, join volunteer organizations, participate in interest groups, etc. And increase the chances of making friends. It is also important to learn to listen and understand others and establish sincere mutual trust and contact with others.
