While they should be saying yes to opportunities to connect with people, I'm not sure if this particular advice is great. If I was in a similar situation to the author of the post, I would find this particular advice demoralizing. It assumes the author of the post has what they are stressing they do NOT have - friends and offers of things to do. If you are not connecting with people you will not magically have offers from people.
It's about forcing yourself to get out there in controlled settings - clubs, volunteer, meetups, classes, and other places people are actively seeking connection.
- rhn_mk1 5y agoThis is too narrow a view. Social events are widely advertised, the offer does not need to be directed specifically at you.
- shaftoe 5y agoMaybe, but I have rarely experienced wide advertisement (that was intended to include me) and don't know where to begin. I agree that this is off-putting advice. Many social activities assume you're showing up with friends. If you have none, they're akward and depressing.
- collegeburner 5y ago^ This. I've gone to some big school events that arent really fun by myself, there's not a lot of talking with random people cause everybody else is there with a group.
