I want friends (although I'm an adult).

I read it.
I see, I read that you want friends. There are times when you feel alone. I feel like I understand your feelings. I understand your feelings from the bottom of my heart.
If you think so, why not try increasing your relationships little by little. I think people in the neighborhood where you live are fine. First, let's increase relationships with various people little by little while saying hello.
There are probably people you first get to know and people you get to know later. Little by little, there are people who are compatible with you, and there are also people who are estranged from it. Or it may develop into meeting someone really close and trustworthy as you slowly start a relationship.
Or I think it would be a good idea to actively sing praises little by little to volunteer activities and events in the community and try working together with various people. As you continue to do various activities, you will come to understand each person's personality, personality, and values, and you will also understand their inner world.
Among them, you too can empathize while discussing with various people.
I sincerely pray that you will be blessed with the opportunity to meet and interact with many people in the future and that you will be able to share various things together and live a rich and fulfilling everyday life from the bottom of your heart.
And I wholeheartedly support you. We wholeheartedly agree

Thank you for your consultation. If you don't talk to anyone for a day, you feel a deep sense of loneliness at an unexpected moment, right? Even if we have enough food, clothing, and shelter, seeking warmth that our hearts interact with is by no means a luxury; it is a natural emotion as a human being.

In Buddhism, we believe that everything is connected by a “relationship.” If you force yourself to “make friends,” you will unknowingly be bound by the “ideal friend image” or “relationship form” you have set for yourself, and it may become rather painful. The ability to act when challenged by a language course is amazing. Even if you don't have a relationship the way you want right away, being in the same place and exchanging words itself is already the beginning of a precious relationship.

Human relationships are something that suddenly comes together when you least expect it. So why don't you stick too much to the “friend” framework and stay more relaxed? First, please cherish small interactions, such as “I'm going to say hello to the person I met today” and “I'm going to express my gratitude to the person at the store.”

If you continue to have opportunities to interact with the outside world at your own pace without being impatient, your circle of warm relationships will naturally expand. We hope your days are filled with peaceful connections.

If you create a go-to store (coffee shop or bar with old-fashioned counter seats), I think you'll become familiar with the staff and regular customers.
It costs some money, but there is also a possibility that other regular customers also go to the store because they want to talk.
Even if they become familiar from lessons, etc., inviting them to a restaurant may be a high hurdle,
If you get to know each other at a restaurant from the beginning, I think we can chat on the spot.
I think it would be fun to have a friendly chat at the counter seat while drinking delicious coffee or tea.

Making friends is also quite difficult, isn't it? Maybe I don't have any friends either. However, there are many people I have relationships with.

I got married, it was an unknown place, and no one knew anyone... Maybe everyone is like that at first. I think there are many people who say their husband is the only person they talk to.

That was the case for me, but since the environment where I got married is becoming a place to live and a place to live, I wanted to know a lot of things. It's like exploring the city while going out alone. Still, the day is long, isn't it? So I looked for local events, circles, and communities. That's because it's also listed a lot in City Administration News. I also remember being excited that there are so many good places. Also, I expanded the community where people can participate while learning about work and improving their own skills.

If you don't fit in, you can just stop, and you won't know the atmosphere of the meeting or compatibility with people until you've been in touch with them a few times. With such a relaxed feeling, I think it would be nice to participate. Socializing with people can be exhausting, but (we were able to talk a lot today. It was fun), and it's something that leads to the next.

In my case, I have many work-related and various activities, so I have many of those friends. Rather than friends, they feel like like-minded friends. They're not friends to hang out with. Basically, I like acting alone. Even so, we have tea and talk during the meeting, so it's fun and fulfilling. I'd like to invite you to join my friends too.

Why don't you search for your own interests and things you want to try?
If we have a common topic, the conversation will also be exciting. Relationships that expand from there may be encounters with people you can call friends.
