How to find like minded women near you
Making friends can seem challenging in the world we live in. Neighbors don’t know each other, people avoid eye contact and many people have trust issues. Yet, everyone is craving connection and genuine friendships. So how do we meet our people? How do we find like minded women with good intentions? Here are some ideas that might help you find your new besties.
I have always considered myself to be shy and introverted. While attending an event with a friend, she referred to me as being a social butterfly. This statement genuinely shocked me! It made me realize how much I have grown and changed this year. Discovering my interests and trying new things has helped me feel more confident. By putting yourself in different situations, you will start to notice where you feel more like yourself. Once you start being your authentic self, you will attract your people.
Social media is a great tool if used properly. You can search for groups and community events in your area. The hard part is actually forcing yourself to show up. Going to an event where you don’t know anyone can be scary. But, the good news is that this is the best place to find people with similar interests. It’s so much easier to connect with someone when you already have something in common. Instead of trying to convince your current friends to be excited about your interests, you can make new friends who are just as passionate about it as you.
Once you start connecting with these like minded women, you will start to create a whole new circle of friends. You will be invited to different events, learn more about this common interest and finally be surrounded by your people. These connections will not happen overnight and they do require you to put yourself out there but it will be worth it!
If you have a success story on finding your people, I would love to hear from you! I have personally made a ton of new friends this year just by being intentional about who I surround myself with. Both in person and online.
One last tip I can give you (especially if you spend a lot of time on social media) is to alter your algorithm. Search for things that interest you, follow accounts that make you feel good and start connecting with people. Making friends online can be just as fulfilling as having local friends.
