How Do You Make Real Friends in Your 50s When You Feel Lonely, Shy and Unsure Where to Start?
Description
In this episode of Big Sister Hotline, Clem responds to a listener in her fifties who writes about feeling lonely and unsure how to make new friends. Clem talks about the importance of friendship at every age, how capitalism and ageism shape our connections, and why it’s normal for relationships to drift as we change. Clem shares some practical ideas for meeting people later in life, the role of solidarity across generations, and ways to soften loneliness while building new bonds.
It’s messy, it’s complicated, and it’s exactly the kind of real talk you come here for.
