Have you ever found yourself feeling lonely on a Sunday night wishing you had some fun friends to invite over? Someone you can be comfortable with while lounging in your pajamas? What is it about Sunday nights that always bring out the melancholy, man? Do you reflect that it was so much easier to make friends when you were younger or in a friendlier setting like college or your last workplace? Maybe you've lost your appetite for all of your old previously enjoyable hobbies? You're blaming it on mid-life blues but I have other insight that might help you. Are you thinking that picking up sticks and moving to a new town would cure everything that's wrong with your life currently? I don't think that's the issue, to be honest. And I am always honest.

Please, let Sam Darling's lifetime of being the new person in the neighborhood come to your rescue. She knows what she's talking about and has tons of tested techniques for creating meaningful community around you. Perhaps you are yourself new to town and finding the locals cold and unfriendly. First of all, I'm sorry you moved to Hamburg. Secondly, there are ways to deal with the local Freeze, I promise. Many places have this reputation and I'll teach you how to deal with it. This book was written in response to the same common refrain, "You're so good at making friends! How do you do it?" Let me teach you. Because I know you hate people, and I know why, but you still need them.
