Comment on How I Made 50 Friends In One Monthparent

Comments

Hello Erik, Thanks for the constructive criticism.

I'm not here to please the people who think that writing to 400 people to make friends is creepy. Everyone makes friends and eventually you'll have to talk to 400 strangers whether or not it's formal/non-formal.

> But it also means that you can not do anything connection related.

Well that vision is a work in progress. I can't please everyone but I can extend my hand to everyone to give them the opportunity to connect. If they see it as creepy, their loss.

There's something called growth. If I can grow into connecting, great. If not, it's worth a shot to try anyways.

Those 4 people who are extremely close I've known for 1-4 years. You did make a good point about the 50 friends. However, like I said before, each person has their own interpretation of what a friend is. If it's a year, then it's a year for some. If you want to use the year requirement, then I'll say the 50 number drops to more like 15, not zero.
