  1. How is it possible for adults to make new friendships as a person who doesn‘t particularly like doing small talk? so to speak what‘s the secret „sauce“ on how to make friends :)
  2. What is the most important thing to do/consider in your experience to keep friendships alive despite work stress, family commitments etc., especially as people get older?
  3. As an Academic, you must have moved locations/coutries quite often. What was your experience in making new friends in totally new places? Was there a cultural influence that you observed?
  4. Gilian: What was it that you changed about making friends as a more introverted person?

Hey Gilian Thanks a lot for your extensive reply! As a fellow accademic i found it quite hard to keep saying bye to friends and building up new (hopefully) meaningfull friendships when everyone leaves after 2-3 years. I‘ll give your tipps a try, especially the one with saying yes more. Maybe seeing the superficial interactions as a mean to an end really helps!
