How to Meet New People and Avoid Small Talk in Wembley

When we’re young, making friends is easy. The whole class gets invited to your birthday party, you play a game of hide and seek, and you’re all BFFs for the next few days. Social interactions are less pressured and more fun, but as we get older, making new friends can sometimes feel impossible

How to Meet New People and Avoid Small Talk in Wembley
Loneliness is an epidemic of modern life; it’s reported that more than 70% of adults feel lonely often or always. Despite being married, working or having kids, many of us can’t shake that feeling of being totally alone.
 
If you’re someone who struggles to build bridges with strangers or hates making small talk, it’s time to take the leap and make new friends.
 
In this quick read, we look at possible ways to meet new people.
 
Reconnect 
 
We all have that someone, the person you really like and who always made you laugh but for some reason, that connection fizzled out. But what’s stopping you from reconnecting?
 
Social media is an easy ice-breaker. Send a message, like a picture and see if you can reignite that easy friendship you once cherished. Pick up the phone, send a text or make a call. You’ve got nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
 
Start something new 
 
What have you always wanted to do but have never found the time to do it? Learn a language? Start a course? By putting yourself out of your comfort zone, you’re giving yourself the chance to learn new skills and meet like-minded people.
 
Maybe a local community centre runs free classes or coffee mornings; you won’t know until you’ve looked.
 
Volunteer 
 
Whether it’s for a charity or a local school, spending time with people in a volunteer capacity can fill lonely hours and make you feel useful. Giving your time and energy to something new can help break barriers with other people and provide a new lease of life.
 
Dog walking 
 
No one said you have to make friends with humans. Sometimes spending time with animals offers a whole lot of love and a few hours out of the house. Websites such as Borrow My Doggy (if you don’t have your own) or joining group dog walks in your area can help you meet new people and pooches.
 
Go on an adventure 
 
Talking to new people can feel intimidating, but what about if you join a club or organise a trip away? You can try plenty of activities by signing up to join a running club or knitting group or booking a walking holiday or tour that could help you establish new connections.
 
If you’re running a club or group and are looking for new members, we would love to know.

Meet Abigail

  Hello, my name is Abigail, and I am the Grey in Grey & Co. I started working here in 2002 as a Junior Negotiator and have worked my way up the ranks since then. I took over running the company in 2014 and have been enjoying the roller coaster that is leadership ever since.   During my 20 plus years at Grey & Co I have dealt with the sale of over £100,000,000 worth of property and overseen the management of assets worth £250,000,000 for clients around the world.   I also had the pleasure of working with my father, the founder of Grey & Co, for 15 years before he sadly passed away and from him, I learnt the work hard ethic and our values today are still the ones that he founded the company on all those years ago.   Be Remarkable, Be Passionate, Be Humble and Be Better.   As a community centric boutique family agency, you couldn’t find a better partner to take with you on your property journey.
