Vriendschap is een illusie…

So… I've noticed this trend over the past little while, where people lament not having [m]any friends, and wonder where on earth they can meet new ones. A friend of mine asked me this recently, and I was at a bit of a loss for good suggestions.

If you're not in university any longer, and you don't have cool colleagues, then I can see how it would be really difficult. Obviously the solution isn't to fall into a deep despair and search for solace on the internet, you have to get out and do something! Yet going to the bar isn't perhaps the best way to find people with similar outlooks and interests, beyond beer. Basically my only idea was for her to join a few clubs and try to meet new people that way. Any other ideas?

combine the internet w/going out!! it helps you find people w.similar outloooks and interests, then when you go out and do something, you do it w.them!!

drawback: when self-loathing has so much become an element that meeting "people w.similar outlooks and interests" seems unbearable

Yeah, have her make a list of things you like to do that involved other people. Do some of them.

I'm still intrigued by the Het Goede Doel quote! :-)
