How to Find Friends and Connect With New People

Finding new friends as an adult can feel tricky or even a little scary, depending on your situation.

Before you go looking for friends, you need to ground yourself energetically.

When you do, you will attract the best people into your life and the experience of making new friends can become fun and effortless.

That’s what we’re going to talk about (and do) in today’s mini-healing session.

How to find new friends

Feeling like you are disconnected or that it’s hard to find friends is a 1st chakra issue.

Allicia joins me today, wanting to clear some of her friend anxieties so she can feel more connected to friends outside her smaller circle.

When we talk about her past experience, we find that she never got plugged into the framework of humanity that can show up to support her. So we do some 1st chakra energy work together.

What about you? Are you plugged in? Find out with this quick exercise.

You can do that exercise whenever you want to feel more open to new friends. Which affirmations were most helpful for you?

What to look for in a new friend

Just like I said to Allicia in the video, her primary need in a friend is a feeling of emotional connection.

Not everyone will have that same priority. Some people will most highly value friends who support them in being spontaneous. Others may prioritize friends who respect their intellectual abilities.

What you value most in a friend all depends on your Energy Type.

(If you don’t know your Type, you can learn more about Energy Profiling here.)

Whatever matters most to you in a friend, make sure you work on expressing those qualities in your own life, before friends even show up. Since Allicia is looking for a friend she can connect with emotionally, that’s the kind of friend she should be.

Now go find that friend!

I’m excited for what shows up for you. Set your intention, use the affirmations, and go where you feel inspired to go. Show up with the message, “Hi I’m here. Who’s my friend?”

Tell Us What You Think

    That was neat. I saw her light up when you finished… like hope, excitement, joy. Her smile was beautiful. Where before she had a feeling of saddness about her. I felt it shift in me as well.

    I remember when I was about 18-19 and I prayed and asked for a friend… I went to a singles activity and when I walked in the door a girl was walking toward me and I felt Spirit say, “there’s your friend” that simple.

  • Louize

    I really enjoyed this, what a lovely lady! I too had a mom and dad who were always fighting and cold towards each other which probably affected me in some similar ways.

  • ella

    Thanks. This was very helpful for me. With years this became a bigger need for me. Often I like to be on my own but then I also need to enjoy a meaningful time with friends. Neither I could relate to my FOO, too much fighting was going on when I was small.

  • Janice

    Do type 4s have any special spiritual connection like the type 2s do with angels?

  • Natasha

    I have wondered the exact same thing about angels. I’m a type 4 and I love angels too. Also I never had a problem with making friends but, my problem was that my friends would either reject me after a while or they would victimize me in some way and I would be to scared to make more friends. How can I stop that pattern. I’m guessing it’s because my own mother treated me that way.

  • Lynne

    I’m a 2. I’m 61 yo and very lonely. I have similar problems–my parents fought and since my dad was a pilot, he was gone a lot. He was a sex maniac and was out with other women wherever he could find them. He molested my sister and I when we were quite young, so I always had problems with sex (I always felt used by men and didn’t know how to get them to “include” me along with my body in the act). I’m twice divorced and have nothing to do with men now except at work. I got fat to keep them away. I never had children.

    I used to have a lot of friends but in a two-year period, I lost 9 of them. Four of them died, four moved out of state, and my best friend (a very spiritual guy) married a very insecure woman who will not allow our friendship. He was my friend for 30 years!

    I have two sisters and a brother plus my parents are still alive altho in their 80s. They live from Nome, Alaska to Georgia, to Yuma, Arizona. We keep in touch via email. They all have spouses and/or children. I have no pets because I’m allergic plus I work full time.

    I have four friends left but they are all married so they are busy most of the time with their families. Two of them are not very interested in me and want only to talk about themselves. The other two are very loving friends I’ve known for 35 years. I see them rarely, though.

    I do genealogy and feel a strong connection to my ancestors! I know they are supporting me. I’ll ask the angels to help me find other single women my age who are fit enough to go on short hikes or walking around the lake with me. All my other 4 friends are obese (I’m a little fat but not obese).
