Its now been 5 months to me and my wife in the UK along with a month or so into a new job. We’re both growing and making newer memories together. We’ve also managed to find some form of friendship around us, which is nice and helpful.

However, in these 5 months, what’s become extremely alarming is the fact that a large group of people feel lonely. I don’t have any stats on this, but what I’ve observed is that many are finding it hard to make friends in their mid 20s to late 30s.

Bumble for Friends and Networking is cool, but having tried that out I sensed individuals on it don’t necessarily want to “connect”. I wouldn’t be surprised if most are there because it feels nice to be swiped right on. It’s natural, the dopamine and validation craving. Outside of these apps, I’ve also felt there’s a lack of confidence to approach new folks with the intention to just connect and converse. Either that or they just simply feel they’ve forgotten “how to make friends.”

Personally I’m at a point in my life where I want to actively work on my goals and aspirations. I want to grow and achieve milestones and be held accountable. Almost like having a group of accountability buddies that are with you on the same journey.

I have a few ideas on how I could form that for myself but I’m looking for some buy-in to make it scalable and largely beneficial.

But before I do share those ideas, I’d like to ask you all for some help. Could you fill out this form?

I’d love to hear from you if you’d like to form some newer connections, minus the drama and judgment that comes from older connections, with the hopes to actually learn and grow collectively.

It’ll hardly take 5 mins, and your insights would help.

Peace
