An old proverb says that an old friend is better than the new two. But what should you do if your friends moved to another country, your acquaintances have little time for you, and you have nothing to talk about with your colleagues other than work? Perhaps you just decided to start a new life and want to see in it new people who are close to you in spirit. Or maybe you yourself moved to another city or simply realized that your past connections did not suit you, and you have long wanted to change the circle of friends.
Instruction manual
one
In any case, before you start making new friends, you must decide why you need it and what you expect from these people. The goals can be different - you need friends who are always ready to help. Or you are looking for people with similar interests and hobbies to share experiences and enjoy each other's successes. Perhaps you are trying to fill up the circle of contacts with the right people, make useful contacts to develop a business or quickly resolve important issues. When you clearly decide who exactly you need, you will know exactly where to look for these people and how to get to know them.

If you're just lonely and want to attract new people into your life, start by starting a hobby. Develop, start learning languages, do dancing or yoga, take vocal lessons, sign up for cooking classes, and get another higher education. The choice is yours. It does not matter what it will be, in any case you will make new acquaintances and change the circle of friends.
3
Get yourself a page on social networks. Join communities and groups that interest you. Leave comments, like, meet new people, publish posts, attract users to your page and add them as friends. If you want to find useful contacts in a certain field, register on narrow-profile resources or on thematic forums. Get a profile on a dating site. In the future, a bad date can turn into a useful business contact.
4
Attend exhibitions and concerts, start going to the theater and cinema. Do not be afraid to visit a restaurant, night club or karaoke alone. All these places contribute to the expansion of social circle. In a relaxed environment, people tend to be more willing to make contact. If you often see a person you like in the same place, do not hesitate to meet you first. To begin with, casually share your opinion about a dish on the menu or the impression of the actors playing in the play. At the next meeting, greet a person already visually familiar to you and start communication.
5
Take a close look around. Perhaps among the people you see daily, there is a person whom you have not yet considered. Surely you are going to work at the same time with the same people. Or go to the store and you often meet the same person there. With someone, park the car next to the car park or walk the dog at the same time. In any case, among these people there is a person with similar interests and outlooks on life. Start greeting and over time, you will certainly move to full communication.
6
Everyone will find people whose communication was interrupted once upon a time. Maybe you studied together at a school or institute, started a career together or are distant relatives and have not seen each other for a hundred years. Time goes by and people change. Seek out these people and resume communication, even if before you were not completely satisfied with them. Surely among them there will be someone who now shares your values or has followed the same path, and you will certainly find something to discuss.
