If you can’t think of anyone whose friendship you can nurture, don’t
feel bad. It is common for people who are busy with work and family to
let their social lives lapse. In that case, it is time to get more
active in your community. Find a group with common interests. It might
be a religious group, a civic organization, or a charity. Give some of
your time. And while you’re there, get to know the people around you.
There are lots of great day-to-day benefits of having good friends.
You get to share in the lives and life stories of your friends. You will
have people that you can rely on you for an honest opinion when you
need one and for a pat on the back when you just need to be lifted up.
And on those days when it feels like the bottom may drop out of your
world, there is nothing like having a few friends around to catch you.
