    This is great advice. I want to add that it helps to have the necessary social skills to make those friends. I highly recommend Dale Carnegie’s How to Make Friends and Influence People. It’s old and a bit hokey but the advice is solid. It helped me grow from being awkward and largely friendless to awkward with a few friends!

      I’m having my daughter read that now. I hate “self-help” books, but that one is essential.
