I’ve always been very social and easily made friends living in the 6+ cities I’ve lived in my life. My recent move has been the most difficult socially, and has been confirmed by close friends in similar situations; the older you get, the harder it is to make friends. Your time and interests condense, which isn’t bad it just means you have figured out what you really want to prioritize, but that creates more gaps for social relationships. I’m more interested in traveling to maintain my strong relationships, which means less time dedicated to building ones where I’m at. The older you are, the more likely to have more significant stake in work and family so less flexibility to be social, etc.
