Anyone who wants to live a better life must be prepared to step out of their comfort zone. Doing everything from the comfort zone is a habit. They don't want to take risks and take responsibility for their lives. It makes no sense to look for quick fixes when everything is at hand these days. Even if it takes time, we should take a chance on our ability. Relationships with friends are also similar. I also had a very good group of friends. But after getting married and having children, there was no meeting and discussion because they devoted themselves to the responsibilities of parents. Previously, we met once in three months on a Sunday or a holiday and had a very important conversation. It is a pity that our friendships are limited to three-minute phone conversations at present. But if a few of us have a clear need, we can arrange to meet friends.
As I said in another comment, isn't part of being a parent ensuring that children have a rich social life? Part of that is having kids interact with adults also, people who are trusted and people who might be quite different.
