I would LOVE to be able to branch out, but as much as I’ve tried in my almost 30 years, it always ends as nothing but a wet fart. Most of the people who I do vibe with (and who tolerate me) exist in the form of potential romantic interests and it just doesn’t work out. I can’t find that “line” of platonicness and romance. From that perspective then, I guess it makes sense why my friendships/commections ceased formation in my adolescence. Doesn’t make it suck any less though lolololol

    My theory is that new people already have their own established friend groups so can’t make much time for anyone else and its hard to ever be as important as an established long term friend group.

    I have independently come to the same conclusion. Therefore, I’m cooked.

    I’ve met NT people that have large “friend” groups from later in life but it always seems very hollow

    Have also observed this.
