How do you suggest we do this and go further into understanding this for someone who does choose (or only knows) the new friend, activity or place as an attempt to do this instead of the lasting solution.

It is natural for the mind to seek the fresh and new. That is the way creation is, always fresh and new. Nothing is repeated in nature.
However, when we hold the mind as a private possession, as my mind and your mind, it becomes aggressive and dull over a period of time. It cannot notice the beauty that is emerging every moment and it gets bored.
