I think the Kindergarten approach is almost required.
When my daughter started she came home from school and said I made 5 new friends. I said do you want to be my friend, they said yes, and then we played all recess
I think we become friendless becuase we don’t put in the effort required to maintain them. Without the forced connection of school or work it takes real effort to maintain a relationship.
Recently I have been making a real effort to see people and talk to people regularly as I realized I hadn’t talked to or seen close friends in years.. I haven’t taken the step to just flat out ask people to be my friend but I think that spirit of just asking and then doing stuff would work as an adult.
