On this week's episode of Humanize Me, Bart Campolo answers this question:
"I just read an article saying that, like me, the average American has just one close friend, and 1 in 4 of us have none at all. I want to fight the 'loneliness epidemic' and have decided to make a really big effort to seek out more meaningful connections. Over the years, I've been letting my average friendships naturally die in order to concentrate on finding people with whom I more deeply connect, but potential soulmates are hard to find. Where do I find new close friends?"
Takeaways: Some places, some people, some periods of time, lend themselves better than others to making friends; don't let 'average friendships' die but 'frack' them for deeper connections; the best friendships are often forged with average people by those with the skills to do it; join groups; be bold and strike early while the stakes are low.
All eight sessions of long-form conversation between Bart and his famous evangelical father, Tony Campolo, recorded for the film Leaving My Father’s Faith, are now available to Patreon supporters (become one easily) at BartCampolo.org/Campolo-Sessions.
