and it's jarring but 3 main friends is already hard to do especially since my family is super super fragmented, I'm an introvert and like slow living too. Just 2 visits a week spread equally to mom, dad (separated), 3 friends, granny, aunt. maths says we'll only meet once a month already. no mate, I think you're great but diluting my visits any further will make me super absent, and visiting more often makes me tired and absent in an even worse way.

It's not your fault, I've had the good fortune of meeting good friends in life and made the effort to keep them around and the friendships have aged well. that and I was cursed with a dramatic family where nobody gets along. so yea, I know it sounds terribly douchy but it's neither of us, there's just no more vacancies.

I'm not gonna tell you all this when we get along at work, because it comes off as aggressive or belittling but what am I supposed to do/say?

The solution to this problem is parties.
