Your Friendship Audit result
Your social ability did not disappear. Your repeated places did.
What this pattern looks like
Moving removes the tiny encounters that once did the work for you: the neighbour you saw at the mailbox, the familiar café staff, the parent at pickup, the colleague by the kettle. In a new place, every relationship starts at zero at the same time.
Why the usual advice fails
“Put yourself out there” treats courage as the missing ingredient. The real problem is continuity. A good conversation with someone you never see again cannot accumulate into a friendship.
The format that fits
Walking removes the pressure of constant eye contact, gives conversation a natural rhythm, and lets you learn the new area while the same faces become familiar.
Choose the closest weekly walk you could attend three times, even if the first date is not perfect.
