#22 – How To Make New Friends

Have you ever felt weird about wanting to make friends, and didn’t know how to go about it, or bring it up in a conversation?

Maybe you moved to a new town, or life’s taken a turn…

And now you’re on your own, and you want to meet people who get you and like you for who you really are.
