Friendship Found - A Practical Guide to Making Friends as an Adult #1010659

Making friends as an adult is not hard because adults are unfriendly. It is hard because nobody tells you the rules changed. Friendship Found is a practical guide for adults who want more friends and do not know where to start. Twelve chapters cover the mechanics of adult friendship — proximity, repetition, vulnerability, investment — and the specific moves that turn an acquaintance into an actual friend. The 200-hour figure, the three-ingredient context audit, the first-invitation script, the second-visit rule, the vulnerability move, the maintenance rhythm, and the repair conversation. No "just put yourself out there." Just the sequence, the scripts, and the specific moves that produce friendship — and keep it.
