Part 6/7:
Interestingly, the art of making friends has become somewhat lost in modern society. Young adults, especially, often feel overwhelmed when asking how to forge friendships even when surrounded by peers. The anxiety of initiating conversations can be paralyzing, leading some individuals to go without meaningful relationships.
Encouragingly, one approach to cultivating friendships can involve acts of service. When someone offers support to a friend in need, not only does it strengthen their bond, but it can also alleviate some of the helper’s own struggles. This reciprocal nature of friendship highlights its essence—active involvement and service are crucial to sustaining these connections.
