50 here, making (and losing) friends every year. We moved to another country, again, and we don’t find it very hard to forge lasting friendships with people so far anywhere.

Most people are just really bad at it; some people here who I try involve in activities always cancel or have ‘better stuff todo’ and then cry, later, that no one invites them anymore or they have no one to play with.

It’s not that hard…

> Imagine there’s another one of you. Wouldn’t you want to be friends with them?

Nice one and yes, I would :)

I’m 40 and in the same boat but also moved overseas and travel a lot. I think that kind of forces you into not losing the ability to make new friends through your life.

Some people just have more of a natural talent, as with anything else. It’s not very helpful to just tell people they are bad at it. I don’t go around telling people that are bad at things that I’m good at that it’s not that hard and they should just try…
