00:00Making friends as a kid was at times challenging, and it seems it doesn't get any easier with time.
00:06Author Lane Moore told CBS News those less than helpful pieces of advice like try joining a club or meet
00:12people at the gym aren't caught in it anymore.
00:15Instead, message someone you've already interacted with, or go to shows or restaurants on your own.
00:21It's a lot like dating. If you like your interaction with a stranger, take the scary step of asking them
00:27to hang out again.
00:28MindBodyGreen says the key is saying yes. As much as your inner social butterfly allows, say yes when you receive
00:35an invite.
00:36Don't be afraid to be the first to reach out. Go through your little black book of failed dates.
00:41Just because things didn't work out romantically doesn't mean there isn't potential for a friendship.
00:46Focus on the things that make you feel good. Do things you enjoy, and you'll find yourself surrounded with like
00:51-minded people and, yes, potential new friends.
