Meeting new people is not enough

Meeting new people seems like an easy fix when feeling lonely. However, research has shown that addressing your inner dynamics can be more effective in easing feelings of disconnection than simply increasing social contact. That’s where philia comes in: giving you the skills to turn new encounters into meaningful relationships.
