The Mel Robbins Podcast · It's Not Just You: The Reality of Adult Friendship Right Now · 7 May 2026 podcast

But most of the time, chances are you're making an excuse and you need to get out there and invest in making new friends and deepening your connections because it is going to pay dividends for your life.

This is a great question.

So Mel, 77% of Americans work more than 40 hours a week.

And to be honest, everyone I know works more than 40 hours a week.

How do I even make time for friendships?

And so this brings me to this idea that I think is really important, which is that connection doesn't have to be time-consuming for it to be meaningful.

So there are a lot of great studies showing that even a simple text message or a 10-minute phone call, a 10-minute phone call can literally reduce loneliness for someone, okay?

Taking five minutes to express gratitude to someone

These are really small momentary things that actually make a difference.

So one of my recommendations for people is to go for connection first.

So throughout the day, maybe we are in a meeting that ends five minutes early.

And what do we do to fill that five minutes?

We scroll on our phones, right?

We look at social media, we read the news headlines, right?

Or maybe you are standing in line waiting for something.

Again, you pull out the phone, you're scrolling to just kill that time.

Instead, I want you to go for connection first.

So if you pull out your phone, text a friend.

Don't go on social media, right?

If you are in the car commuting or on the bus or the metro commuting to work, right?
