    I have about 3 friends that are close and we all meet up weekly. We always go to dinner on Friday night unless we are out of town or something. It’s nice. Idk what I did to make it happen but I love it

    I wouldn’t say that. The only friends I’ve got left are the ones that stayed in the same city as me. I already forgot those who moved away. And the closer someone lives to me, the closer of a friend he is.

    Country? The world. My handful of friends is scattered across the continents, and I see them maybe once a decade. Vampirism is a lonely existence, I hear.

    Man, that person really needs more friends. Not a diss either. I have friends spanning countries, cities, life, I have friends that have died. I have friends that still live. Why the fuck not talk to people and be friends?

    Also, am adult.

      because most people don’t want friends. they just want people to listen to them whine about their life.

      every ‘friend’ i have made as an adult has been nothing more than someone who wants me to be their therapist. so i gave up and I’m much happier w/o people who are constant drags on my well-being.

      i’m so sick of like hanging out with someone a few times, then having them ‘open up’ to me about how they HATE their wife/kids/job and other weird ass shit that I have zero empathy for experience with. and then they think i’m an asshole because I won’t sit there and tell them what a bitch their wife is.

      Talking to people and making friend-friends are very different things, IMO. And how hard you find either is very individual.

      I make acquaintances like a mother fucker. Friends is like one a decade, tops.

      Not everyone is like this, how you put it, and people have problems. I suppose I speak for myself.
