A lot of people struggle with this because it is not as easy to make friends as an adult as when we are children or teens. The main thing to remember is that you have to be willing to be uncomfortable sometimes, or rather comfortable with the fact not everybody is going to like the real you. Not everyone likes the fake you either so it doesn’t matter. If you want real friends, the only way to get them is to be the real you. Some people you’ll want to befriend won’t want to be your friend, and that’s ok. You won’t want to befriend every person you meet either. But by and by being your authentic self means you’ll connect with others and make friends.
