Why Making Friends as an Adult Feels So Hard (How to Change It)

Why is adult friendship so hard—and what can we do about it? If you've ever felt like making friends as an adult is way harder than it should be, you're not alone. In this episode of Living in the Miracle Zone, Marci Shimoff sits down with filmmaker and author Barnet Bain to unpack the real reason we struggle with friendship today—and what it actually takes to build meaningful, lasting relationships in a divided world. We talk about the hidden pain of adult loneliness, how our culture trains us to wear masks, and why so many people feel emotionally disconnected—despite being more "connected" than ever. This isn't just theory. It's practical. It's raw. It's real talk about real friendship. You'll learn: - Why most friendships stay surface-level - How to build deep, emotionally safe connections - The difference between being present and trying to "fix" - Why self-friending is the key to all your relationships - And how to show up with intention and heart—no matter what the world throws at you If this hits home, share it with someone who needs it. Because real friendship still matters. 📩 Grab your free 4-step Miracle Formula to manifest abundance & joy here: https://themiraclezonebook.com [https://themiraclezonebook.com] 🎁 Get Barnet's Friendship Book: https://BarnetBain.com [https://barnetbain.com] Video Chapters: 00:00 - Intro: Living in the Miracle Zone 00:55 - Barnet Bain's creative journey 03:30 - How personal pain shaped Barnet's friendships 06:00 - From judgment to love: lessons from his daughter 09:00 - What makes friendship sacred? 12:45 - Why most people live in "bubbles" of belief 16:00 - Understanding your own internal programming 20:00 - The art of "self-friending" 23:30 - How to show up as a true friend 27:15 - When NOT to fix your friends 30:00 - Practical tips to deepen any friendship 34:00 - Marci's reunion story: the power of being seen 36:00 - Final thoughts and powerful quote from Barnet 38:00 - Get the Friendship Field Guide & Marci's gift
