Let's Make Friends: The Recipe!

Hello everyone! Bry here, your new Forum Supporter for the Friendship Support community.

Now, why did I choose friendship? Because I think this is the best place for us to learn all about it.

​Friendship is not just having the same interests or sharing funny jokes; it’s also a place where you can have a sense of belonging.

​Now, we often ask: How do I make friends? Don’t worry, I’ve got ya. I’ve got my recipe right here:

​The Ingredients:

• ​1 cup of books and TV series (so we have things to bond over).
• ​1/2 cup of jokes and laughs (because it’s fun!).
• ​A pinch of shared interests (just enough to get conversations started).
• ​1 heaping tablespoon of vulnerability (let people see the real you).
• ​An unlimited amount of showing up for each other every time.
• ​(And a secret ingredient... Hint: It’s you!)

​Instructions:

• ​Combine your amazing self with someone else’s space.
• ​Remember not to overheat, or it’ll burn and smell bad! Don’t rush the process; let the trust simmer over time.
• ​The Taste Test: Friendship will always be good, even with "weird" flavors that don’t fit their personality.

​Important Note: If you have to change your ingredients to fit their pot, it’s not the right recipe.
