I don't mean mates or whatever. Just people who I might have worked with and/or gone to the pub with a few times a year. I feel bad as these are people who were decent with me when we were friends, by centrist standards they're good people, now I've grown and I just feel bored af with them. I don't care about their topics of convo, I don't care about tv or sports or their holiday to Bali, the word is dying and it feels pointless to maintain any sort of friendship with them. If they did one single thing that Hexbear broadly supports, I'd probably say hi.

I'll just see them and look straight forward, hoping to Christ that they don't recognise me. Since I'm wearing an N95 mask, it's probably mutual.

It seems like maintaining relationships helps with material shit, like when you're looking for a job or need help with something. I really should, for my own sake, say "hi".

On the other side of things, I'd kill to have this level of confidence in my twenties. Feeling socially incomplete was such a problem always.

    i think people understand and don't usually feel personally hurt by it. you do you.

    i just assume people are feeling unsocial or don't have time to chat. i know that is usually the reason when i do that.
