Keeping friendships requires three things: skill, sincerity, and simple efforts
Like it or not, humans were built to be social (sorry, introverts!). Much of our life is spent around forming relationships and seeking out communities where we can be accepted and where we feel that we belong. From the discos of the 70s to the memes and TikTok videos of 2019, socializing has shape-shifted throughout generations. But one thing remains common whether you’re a Boomer or a Gen-Z kid: the desire to keep in touch, preferably over bottles of cold beer and the promise of an amazing night out.
These days, you can literally make friends with strangers at the swipe of a finger. But keeping them? That’s a whole new ball game. Here, we’ve gathered some simple ways to keep your friends close—tried and tested for generations.
