ADVICE

Create Your Own Social Events

  • Do invite people to activities you wish you were invited to instead of waiting for invitations.
  • Pick a date, location, and text a handful of friends to make social plans happen.
INSIGHT

Social Life Is Made, Not Magical

  • Viewing social life as magically appearing leads to passivity and disappointment.
  • Taking agency to create plans turns envy into action and increases connection.
ADVICE

Start Groups With One Simple Meeting

  • Try starting small when forming new groups like a casual book club meeting at your home.
  • Ask a few book-loving friends to come over and see what unfolds from there.
