Ever feel like making friends as an adult is 10x harder than it should be?
If you’ve ever thought, “Why does making new friends feel impossible?”—you’re not alone. 79% of Gen Z and 71% of Millennials report feeling lonely (Psychology Today), making them the loneliest generations in recent history.
But here’s the thing: It’s not your fault.
Modern life isn’t designed for effortless social connection. Between busy work schedules, constant moves, and the trap of digital-only interactions, making real friends as an adult feels harder than ever.
So, what’s getting in the way—and how do we fix it? Let’s break it down.
Why Making Friends Is So Hard as an Adult
1️⃣ Social Media ≠ Real Connection
Sure, we can DM someone on Instagram or comment on a TikTok, but that doesn’t translate into deep, real-world friendships. Studies show that despite being more “connected” than ever, young adults feel more socially isolated than any previous generation.
➡️ Fix It: CREEW helps bridge the gap between online and in-person connections by creating curated events that bring like-minded people together—minus the awkward small talk.
2️⃣ Work & Life = No Time for Socializing
Between work, side hustles, and just trying to keep life together, making time for new friendships can feel like an afterthought. Unlike college or high school, where friendships formed naturally, adulthood requires effort to maintain and build relationships.
➡️ Fix It: Instead of leaving friendships to chance, CREEW makes it effortless to connect through interest-based events. Whether it’s a cocktail-making class, a yoga session, or a creative workshop, you can meet people without feeling like you're forcing a friendship.
3️⃣ Moving to a New City Without an Established Social Circle
More Millennials and Gen Z are moving than any other generation, often relocating for jobs, school, or new opportunities. But landing in a new city without an existing friend group can feel isolating.
➡️ Fix It: CREEW helps you instantly plug into a local community so you’re never starting from scratch.
4️⃣ The Awkwardness of Meeting People as an Adult
Ever tried to make a new friend in a coffee shop or at the gym? Yeah, it’s weird. Without built-in settings like school or college, approaching people randomly can feel unnatural.
➡️ Fix It: With CREEW, you don’t have to force conversations or wonder if someone is open to meeting new people. Everyone at a CREEW event is there for the same reason—genuine connections.
