I have some that have come to me by marriage within the family, but thats aboout it….
Like my ex brother in law(former husband of my sister that died), his wife etc…. They arent technically relatives anymore so I guess they are friends.
I do not have an super abundance of RL friends either. I have a few though.

I have IRL friends but they’re not regular friends. They’re kind of like family friends to some extent
They’re also imperfect af lol
Like really rub me the wrong way sometimes.
I made friends with my neighbor. She’s cool. She seems to struggle with friendship too. I think it’s hard to make friends in your forties. My neighbor is 42 or 43 I think.
I don’t know..

I used to have a close friend but 1 year everything drifted apart. In about 2006. Long time ago. Was in a state of shock for ages

I used to have quite a few friends when I was younger but we have mostly drifted apart as well. Still have some contact with many of them on the internet.

It’s still easy to date, but friendship is really difficult to initiate

That’s why I think this forum is so precious. Because we need people in our lives that can offer assistance care. Love, respect, support, understanding, communication. So many things and our modern world separates us from each other. Naturally we would be in groups.

It is quite a community. I’m tired of playing class clown. It’s what I did growing up and I’m trying to be more mature about my role here. I want to pay attention rather than obtain it.

Got a few, but my best bestie passed almost two years ago. I consider him to be travelling out of communication range at the moment.

Growing up, I used to justify my lack of friendships by saying “friends come and go” and that “I’m too autistic to manage friendships and that’s why I’m a loner”
But things drastically changed when I decided I wanted to be social. I had a blast, and it haunts me now because before that - I never bothered to challenge my shyness
