Ways That You Can Make New, Healthy Friends as an Adult in Baltimore City, MD
At LifeSpring, we often hear our clients talk about how lonely they feel and about how difficult it is to make friends as an adult. Many young adults fall into the trap of hanging out at the bars with their friends when they’d actually really like to be engaging in healthy activities like yoga, hiking, kayaking, and book clubs. Other adults tell us that their children are too busy for them or that they’re struggle to rediscover who they are now that their children are out of the home. If you’re in Baltimore City, know that we’ve created a small list of activities and organizations we love where you can engage in healthy activities and build a group of new friends too!
