Here’s a hard lesson about “friends” baby...
Don’t expect much of them, and don’t put much trust into them.
Socialize, keep things light, and enjoy social times with people. But understand that most people are entirely too consumed with their own problems, issues, desires, and insecurities, to care that much about others.
The images of friendships we see on TV are primarily fictional and quite rare.
The “squad goals”, images you see of cliques of gays on vacations and brunches on social media are typically staged and are vapid, “surface”, friendships. There’s no depth.
As you get older, and become more comfortable with yourself, your associations with people will
drop off. It’s growth.
1.) If you want loyalty? Get a dog.
2.) If you want to confide in someone? Hire a therapist.
3.) If you truly want a best friend? Look in the mirror.
