Venting I used to have friends

[Ellsworth]

When I was a kid I always struggled making friends, then in my early adult years I was able to make quite a few. Today I have 3-4 friends but even those friendships are extremely weakened compared to what they once were. I can honestly say I don’t have a single close friend right now.

When I was early-mid 20s I was friends with a slightly older 1.5/10 foid from work. She was nice to me and always invited me to do things with her and her friends. I would go often, sometimes it was fun, but at that age I wanted to do other things with my group or guy friends my age.

Fast forward to being late 30s and man I wish I could that back. Even though I never had a gf at least having friends kept this unbearable loneliness away.

Give it a little more time, and you won't miss it. The more time that passes, the less of it you'll remember. I've recently burned all of my bridges with all but one of my remaining "friends" (most of them weren't actually friends- learned this the hard way) and I feel absolutely no guilt or sadness for it. Fewer people in my life means less bullshit for me to deal with, and I have more time to cope in more practical or otherwise productive ways. Consider yourself lucky, OP.

I won’t be working much on these friendships as I want to move to a different city 1,200 mi away. So then I would truly have zero friends or be forced to make new ones.

Friendliness does not make you friends

i've reached a point where I don't even desire friendships anymore
obviously I have the thoughts and wishes of a close-knit group of friends, but then I realize that I despise being outdoors, being around normies, and talking to people. So even if I wanted friends, I would inevitably push them away.

You have us

the best i could ask for
