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

    If you've managed to hold onto those friendships, I'd say that's a very good thing. It gets harder to make friends as you get older — 'hanging out' stops being a thing as the pressure of getting by in this hellscape mounts. Nurture those relationships, because they are precious!
