      Your Guide to Making Friends - 50Minutes

      Problem: you want to expand your circle of friends but struggle to meet new people who share your interests, or you are shy and need advice to get better at talking to people who you do not know that well.

      Aim: to stop being lonely and meet new people to establish lasting friendships.

      FAQs:

      Is it easy to make friends?

      Is shyness an obstacle to friendship?

      What are the main obstacles stopping us from making friends?

      What are some tips to make new friends?

      Where can I meet new friends?

      Is it possible to make and keep friends if I move a lot?

      How can I keep my new friends?

      In our hyperconnected world, where everyone has contacts and acquaintances but few people they can truly count on, it is not always easy to form lasting friendships. Although many people see friendship as one of the most important things in their life, a 2015 survey by the French polling organisation TNS Sofres revealed that 7% of French people say that they have no friends.

      It is true that getting out and meeting people is not always a simple task. However, sometimes all you need is a little push and a few tips to open up to others. Of course, you will need to make some effort to get into the habit of striking up a conversation with someone you do not know and to be cheerful and friendly towards the people around you, but this will only make the rewards greater. For the shyest among
