I think the best way to meet new people when you feel like an outsider is to find other outsiders. By that I mean people who are also trying to fit in and meet make connections. Find things that you like doing that are welcoming to people who may not necessarily be in a group&#x2F;family etc.<p>When it comes to making friends you also have to decide what types of friendships&#x2F;relationships you want. Some people need only one or two close friends or a partner, and outside of their other hobbies, they are fulfilled. On the other hand, others prefer to have large numbers of acquaintances and be a part of a few social circles. There&#x27;s overlap between the two types, but knowing what you want from your relationships will help you position yourself better to find what it is you want.<p>I&#x27;m 31 now, and I think there is always the possibility of meeting new people. Things happen in life, and people&#x27;s situations and perspective&#x27;s change. The friends that suit us at one stage of life may not suit us at another stage of life, so naturally we seek out other people. A partner that continually decides to grow and change with you is the exception to this, but we&#x27;re always moving from stage to stage.
