I have a friend group for 25 years, I will be 33 this year.
It's always sad to read replies to posts like these with people saying they have no friends.
And since I am a guy I can literally not talk to some of them for months and just literally pickup where we left off and talk for hours without it feeling awkward, forced whatever
I'm in my 40s and have multiple long-standing circles of friends going back decades (each with their own group chat). I even made new friends recently through channels other than my existing friends (started going to local fighting game community events).
I definitely feel bad for the people who talk about having very few or even no close friends and seem to frame it as some kind of inevitability that comes with adulthood. Life without my friends would absolutely be a lot worse.
Agreed. I couldn’t imagine life without the unconditional love and support my friends give me.
Some folks feel that they need to go through life alone. It doesn’t have to be that way! Open up your heart and meaningful relationships will start filling your life before you know it. I promise!
