People wonder why it's so hard to make friends as an adult... but then walk around with AirPods in 24/7.

Whether you realize it or not, AirPods are basically a giant "do not disturb" sign.

No one wants to interrupt you.
No one wants to bother you.

So the cute stranger, potential friend, or networking opportunity walks right past.

If you want more conversations, you have to look like you're open to having one.

Take one earbud out. Make eye contact. Smile.

You'd be surprised how many opportunities start with looking approachable.
