Before you jump into making friends headfirst, it’s worthwhile to think about what you’re looking for in new friends—and identify what you have to offer. I’ve found that when I don’t do this, I end up wasting TME getting to know people who aren’t ever going to be my people, or end up in friendships that aren’t actually that great for me. Or I’ll treat making friends as an all-or-nothing proposition and quickly burn out.
