RealTalks ft. Chandni: Why Is Making Friends So Hard?

Let’s be honest — making friends as an adult is hard.
You’re not in school anymore, your coworkers aren’t always your people, and somehow saying “We should hang out sometime” never actually turns into plans.
This RealTalks session is for anyone who’s ever asked:
🫣 “Is it just me, or is everyone else better at this?”
👯 “Where do you even meet people who actually follow through?”
😮‍💨 “Why do I feel like I’m starting from scratch — again?”
We’ll explore:
– The weirdness of adult friendships
– Why closeness feels harder to build these days
– Friendship anxiety, ghosting, flakiness & unmet expectations
– How to make deeper connections on purpose — not just by chance
It’s honest. It’s funny. It’s a little uncomfortable. And it’s so needed.
Whether you’ve been in Porto for 3 weeks or 3 years, come join the conversation. You might just leave with a new friend (or at least a better understanding of why you’re not alone in this).
🎤 Hosted by Chandni (facilitator & conversation catalyst)
