states that while some folx may have always found it challenging to make friends, it might be even more difficult to make friends in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic as many are taking measures to protect themselves by staying home and limiting in-person social interaction.
Additionally, as most folx are expected to adhere to social distancing measures, it can be difficult to get to know people when you're standing six feet apart.
However, despite the unique and unprecedented nature of this global pandemic, it's still possible to engage with others and build friendships—it just may look a bit different than you're used to.
COVID-19 has brought many unique challenges, which are bound to impact your life in a variety of ways, including how you navigate making friends. Although it may feel like a lot more work to try to make friends during the pandemic, the benefits of feeling connected with others cannot be overstated, especially if you quarantined apart from loved ones. When engaging in this process, it may help to consider the ways in which you have already been resilient through the course of the pandemic, as they may provide insights into how you can better navigate making friends remotely. Even if you never quite got the hang of making friends, it is never too late to explore that, especially considering how friendship positively impacts your mental well-being.
