Do we not see those that are alone and may need a new friend? are we so suspicious of someone making small talk or being friendly, say when we meet them, that we ignore them "for our own friends?"

Sure some people are creepy and odd but not everyone is like this, some people just want to meet new people.

we are all so busy with work, existing friends, family, hobbies and social media that we have forgotten that some ppl need friends,

how is any adult supposed to make friends now days when they are never given a chance?

social media is great but... also has a lot to answer for.

are we so cut off as people now?

thankyou
please explain your answers.

Good question, I have thought of that at times. Well, it so happens that most people seem to be dysfunctional and so a new friend can cause you so much trouble. It takes discernment, wisdom, guidance from the Holy Spirit, caution, fortitude, and many other marvelous qualities to keep on top of everything. We don't want others taking advantage of us, but we want to be able to help people in some ways. I find that giving to ministries that God has raised up really helps people, yet I'd like to be able to have a hands on ministry. Here in YA, we can help, but then we don't see faces, but when we get to Heaven we will meet the ones we helped. I believe that if we all make it there. Life is not perfect. Pray and ask God for his will and then you'll do the best you can with his help.

I'm a friendly pup. I moved a few months ago to a new condo. I walk my dogs and meet people every day. A dog is a great way to meet people. They get you out of the house and you run in to people. It's very nice. I'm not in to social media. I actually talk to people.

I think unless people need to make new friends for the purpose of networking etc, people rarely try to hang out with new people. i mean most of my college friends still hangout with the same people they used to since freshman year of college, and rarely make new friends if their old ones are in the same city. There are a few who are always willing to meet people, but they have something "in it" as they work in politics/business, where networking is essential
