A thing I’ve noticed is that people tend to forget that the best friendships are formed in the most unlikely of places and overestimate the role of high level of similar interests as a key criteria.

Too many people I know of that complain of loneliness are mostly caught up in their heads about the friends they want rather than focusing on the friends they themselves can be.

‘But I have tried and keep meeting people that aren’t what I want.’ Then you gotta tweak both what you are looking for and how you are coming across to others! There is a way out of this but people seem stuck in their minds about it.

Being less judgmental is a work in progress for everyone but it also only happens when you force yourself to get out there and meet the kind of people your mind has closed itself off to because of one bad apple you came across. End the vicious cycle!
