In the context of finding and making friends as an interpersonal effectiveness skill, it’s common for people to befriend others with similar interests, values, and lifestyles. When friends share proximity, such as being in the same area, it tends to create closer relationships.

The Finding And Making Friends DBT Handout teaches clients helpful ways to improve their social skills, which can increase their chances of forming new friendships. It discusses important aspects like proximity, similarity, and conversation skills. Using this handout helps kids and teens learn important skills, such as active listening and setting boundaries, while encouraging them to be welcoming towards others. We suggest sharing this handout with those who need help increasing their social awareness and communication.
