Why is it so hard to meet people after college?

I honestly think a lot of us took those built-in communities for granted when we were younger.

At school or university, you were constantly around the same people—classes, clubs, sports, roommates, random campus events. Friendships could just sort of happen without much effort.

As an adult, it feels like everyone has to intentionally make time for connection, and that's a lot harder. People are busy with work, relationships, family, or just trying to keep up with life.

Sometimes it isn't that we're bad at making friends. We just don't have the same environments that used to bring people together naturally.

What does everyone else think?
