How to Make Friends During Lockdown?

If you’re feeling lonely during lockdown – and that would be completely understandable, don’t lose hope of meeting new people. During these times, you just need to be a bit more creative.
You can start to reach out to old friends. They can be old friends from school or previous work experience that you lost touch with. You can check out on how they feel during social distancing times.
Use internet to make new friends. There are Facebook groups you could join where you can meet people with the same interests than you or even apps dedicated to friendship. With social distancing, online meetings may be your best option to meet new people.
Make acquaintances more than that. If you have people in your life that you wish to know more, now is the best time to reach out to get to know them better.
You could also let your friends and family know that you’re looking to expand your circle, they might know the perfect potential friend for you!
Get the most of the socially distanced encounters and try to discuss more to your neighbor or local barista or whoever you could meet naturally. During those difficult times, people tend to be more open to discussion so don’t be shy!
