Who are these friendship guides written for?
Adults who have moved to a new city, lost touch with their social network after life changes, or found that making friends after 25 is harder than expected. The guides are practical rather than theoretical — they focus on what actually works, not on abstract social psychology.
Do the guides cover different approaches beyond using apps?
Yes. The guides cover a range of approaches — structured social activities, professional contexts, online communities with in-person meetups, and apps — with honest assessments of what works for different personality types and life situations.
Are there guides specific to people who have recently moved to a new city?
Yes. Several guides focus on the first-year-in-a-new-city experience, covering how to build a social foundation from scratch and what to prioritize when you do not have existing connections in the area.
