You know what’s actually depressing? Being in your early twenties and realizing you don’t have any real friends. People love to say, “You’ll find your people” or, “Keep your circle small” some of us don’t even have a circle.It’s gotten bad enough that when one of my elderly cousins was telling me about how great the college years are and how they’ll be the best years of my life, my face was calling bs so much so that a couple days later my mom asked how I was doing because she could tell by just my facial expressions in reaction to my cousin that I’ve been miserable
You could also go to rehab, that’s the only time I’ve ever had friends. I think any situation where you’re forced to live with someone else and go through something insanely stressful you’ll bond. But it sucks that we can’t make friends with our neighbors or classmates or coworkers idk if it’s a gen z thing or :(
Can’t believe rehab to make friends is upvoted and yours is downvoted. I’m not in a place where I see going into the armed services as something that I need but what you said is 100% true. I’ve been to rehab- I did meet a few cool people but the rest, unfortunately, were just bad influences to be around. The reason the armed forces are a great option for friends is because when you go through hell with people, cut off from the outside world, it’s you and your mates. That’s lifelong friends
I’m not genuinely suggesting you go to rehab to find friends lol. For anyone who doesn’t need rehab awesome, that’s great. I’m just pointing out that it sucks we’ve gotten to a point where you HAVE to go through hell with people and be cut off from the outside world to make genuine connections
