I remember growing up thinking my parents were weird because they never had close friends and I had a bunch in highschool. Obiously the whole highschool thing ended and college started but even after that i find it not as stange anymore to not care to have a big group of friends. I've been fucked over many times and i see why my parents shyed away from groups. I have maybe like 2-3 people i consider close but thats about it, sad because i consider myself still very young. How many friends do you guys in late 30's to 40's have?
I'll allow this post. Rule six is in place for a reason but it isn't necessarily there for threads like this. Sometimes it can be interesting to hear the perspective of DNM users on subjects that aren't drugs.
Also, for OP or anyone else reading this comment, we do have an off-topic Thursday thread each week for discussions like this. Maybe we can get more content posted there.
Anyway, I don't consider myself old but I am older than a lot of people here I guess. I have two close friends but I rarely see them these days since they are married and have kids now.
It seems like most people only have a handful of trusted friends. Consider yourself lucky, some people don't have any!
