So the Apocalypse Came Early... Now What About Friends?
Let's face it, folks, the whole "end of the world" thing wasn't on most of our calendars. But hey, here we are, shuffling around like extras in a zombie flick. Maybe you miss Netflix, maybe you miss clean socks (jury's still out on that one). But one thing's for sure: you miss human connection. You crave a true friend in this new, delightfully horrifying world.
But Fear Not, Fellow Scavengers! There is hope! (Though probably not for that last box of Twinkies you saw Gary hoarding.) This guide will equip you with the essential skills to find a BFF in the face of impending doom.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.

| How To Get A True Friend Last Day On Earth |
Forget Tinder, Embrace the Horde!
Those fancy dating apps? Useless now. Your soulmate is probably out there bashing a decaying skull with a rusty spoon. Here's your new strategy:
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
- The Shared Suffering Shuffle: Misery loves company, right? So mosey on over to that lonely figure picking berries by the irradiated pond. Strike up a conversation! "Those berries look suspiciously plump... you think they're mutated?" Instant conversation starter.
- The "Hey, Nice Weapon!" Approach: Respect goes a long way in the apocalypse. Compliment someone's particularly gruesome homemade club. Who knows, you might end up teaming up to take down a particularly grumpy feral ghoul together.
Pro Tip: Sharing is caring. Offer a swig from your lukewarm canteen. Just make sure you haven't been using it to store questionable rainwater.
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
Building a Bond: It's Not All About the Loot (Mostly)
Okay, maybe it is a little about the loot. But true friendship is about more than just snagging the last roll of duct tape. Here are some ways to forge a deeper connection:
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.

- Share Your "End-of-the-World" Wisdom: Did you discover a secret stash of non-perishable cheese puffs? Do you have a foolproof method for hotwiring a shopping cart? Share your knowledge! A friend in need is a friend who can help you avoid scurvy and get a sweet ride.
- **Laugh in the Face of the Apocalypse (Because Seriously, What Else Are You Gonna Do?): **Humor is a powerful tool. Crack a joke about a particularly stylish zombie you saw (hey, maybe they're setting a new trend in ripped clothing?). Laughter is the best medicine, except for actual medicine, which you probably don't have anymore.
Remember: Nobody likes a Debbie Downer. Keep the mood light, even if the future looks like a particularly bleak episode of Black Mirror.
Bonus Tip: Don't Be That Guy
There's always one. The guy who tries to use the apocalypse as an excuse to act like a jerk. You know the type - the one who hoards all the good canned goods and pushes people over for the last spot in the bomb shelter.
Don't be that guy. Be the friend who offers a helping hand (and maybe a slightly moldy protein bar).
In Conclusion: Finding a true friend in the apocalypse might take a little extra effort, but the rewards are worth it. After all, who else are you going to reminisce about the good old days with (you know, before the whole "gnawing flesh" thing became a fashion statement)? So get out there, share your dubious survival skills, and forge some truly unforgettable friendships. Just remember, when it comes to BFFs, quality over quantity (especially when it comes to sharing that last can of beans).
