I would LOVE to be able to branch out, but as much as I’ve tried in my almost 30 years, it always ends as nothing but a wet fart. Most of the people who I do vibe with (and who tolerate me) exist in the form of potential romantic interests and it just doesn’t work out. I can’t find that “line” of platonicness and romance. From that perspective then, I guess it makes sense why my friendships/commections ceased formation in my adolescence. Doesn’t make it suck any less though lolololol
I spent 8-10 hours after school with my friends every day. It's not possible to do that with anyone as an adult. I have made some friends as an adult but it's difficult to make plans. Everyone (including myself) is so busy, crushed under the weight of capitalism, depressed, etc.
Even having virtual friends you interact with often doesn’t mean the same imo.
Not any less valid but not as deep in my experience
Yes this is s good point. There are just less bonding opportunities.
