It's also hard to make enemies as an adult.

Right, the challenge in either case is to get people to pay attention first. Society is dying from indifference not malice.

Sadly, the older I get the more I see just how badly people suck...including me. I really need to lower my standards.

At this point I'm not sure if it's undiagnosed adhd that makes me socially isolate, or if it's genuinely better just chilling with my wife and her family who are pretty rad compared to everyone else I meet.

at least you have someone cool and close to you in your life

You can be cool by yourself!

Weirdo!

But seriously that’s the way it really is. I think we need neighbors as badly as friends these days. It’s those casual second order relationships that contribute to a feeling of community.

Completely agree. I haven't had a beer with a neighbour since I moved to my new appartment. We chit chat in the elevator with some of them, but now I'm just waiting for them to find out I'm in IT and electronics, so I could invite them over to fix whatever 😁.

Hey, it's practically begging, I know, but I actually don't have any more friends. A few died in car accidents, some from heart attacks, some in the pandemic and the rest are abroad 🤷.

Same, my friends are dying quicker than I can make new ones

Why do you think I spend my time here, lol 😂.
