Making friends as an adult sucks.
Like… objectively. No sugar-coating it.
When we were kids, our full-time job was basically: have friends, run around, do chaos. Now we work nonstop so we can maybe do that again—but nobody gave us the adulting manual for how friendship was supposed to work after age 18.
So when you saw that subject line and thought, “Yep… that’s me,” you weren’t wrong.
But good news—I’ve got a solution.
It’s ridiculously simple.
It’s wildly effective.
And you can start using it today in your CrossFit class.
Ready?
ASK THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU A QUESTION… AND STAY CURIOUS.
I know. Feels too easy. But think about it:
You probably consider me—or at least one of your favorite coaches—a friend, right?
And what do great friends do?
They care. They listen. They actually want to know what’s going on with you.
Friendship = Caring
Caring = Curiosity
Curiosity = Asking questions to learn more about someone
So what do you ask?
Easy places to start:
Work. Family. Food. Hobbies.
All gold mines.
Now, I can already hear your next worry:
“But what if there’s an awkward pause?”
First: Not every pause is awkward. Sometimes people just breathe. Promise.
Second: If the convo feels like it’s slowing down, dig deeper.
Asking why is the cheat code of all human interaction.
Third: If you hit conversational rock bottom, no big deal. Reset. Go back to curiosity. Start again.
So there it is, Vegvisir fam:
Be curious, not judgmental—
and watch how fast you start making friends in class.
Go get ’em!
