School sucks obviously, but I miss when simply knowing someone in science class made them a friend. Didnt need deep complex understand in relationships, just needed people to tell me my ideas for new sandwiches were good. Looking back I considered almost everyone I went to school with a friend even if the sentiment wasn’t shared. Adulthood made casual relationships almosy impossible, near strangers can’t be my friend anymore :(

Sounds like u r in need of a third space. Or maybe a hobby where you meet other people. Bc meaningless friendships r still out there, but as an adult you have to search a lot harder.

oh my goodness THIS!! I miss this aspect so much. The small forced community and how we all mostly respected each other and saw each other all the time. You got to know people for better or worse fr.

A few from school were really not great people who I could care less about, but the most recent one really gave me no reason to dislike her. I couldn’t handle a regular friendship because I think you end up constantly reopening old wounds but we text from time to time and don’t have any animosity or anything. There was no big controversy with the breakup but we were both not being the best to each other as partners and starting to grow apart. The other two were kinda similar on/off again manipulating back and forth type deals. Classic early high school drama that I’m glad I sorted out then vs in my 20s.

It starts out as a way to survive a hard class, but it often ends up being a real connection with a true friend 💛

I always found it hard to keep in contact with people since I'm not the best texter. Plus, I usualy felt like a floater friend, like I just wasn't in the loop cause people liked others more. Of course, growing apart is nothing bad and if they were truly like that, than it's better that I'm no longer friends with them. However, I got in contact with someone I hadn't spoken with for a long time and it was great. Life gets busy and a lot of people are full in their head from everything. It's not always cause they never think of you (anymore) or don't value your friendship.

Had a scare with my dog recently and it’s a good reminded to everyone to give some extra love to your pets for me. Let them know how special they are <3

Just a wheel that helps you pick what to eat for lunch. But the message underneath about the inability to maintain it and the state of the internet is literally what made me jump to PI
