when you’re a kid/teen there’s major beef stink around your friends ”copying” you. But as an adult theres nothing better than intentionally (or unintentionally) matching your friends- you’re synchronized!!! Cosmically aligned!!!
it’s a different kind of trust and feels like i’m getting a good friend badge—does that make sense?
bonus point: you show up and they already know about you, like your friends really did prep them and like/trust you that much!
I love meeting people and then making an effort to become one on one friends with them. Some of my best friends I’ve made in adulthood have been chance encounters where I decided i needed to learn more about that person and consequently sought them out. These have blossomed into very fulfilling and creatively inspiring friendships. I don’t tend to work very well in friendship groups so this is the model that I have found works for me.
