A few days ago, JCPROBABLY wrote this post about finding and maintaining friendships as an adult. I found this blog post amazing and very insightful. It also made me think about the status of my own friendships.

The truth is, in the real world (i.e. outside the internet) I don’t have many friends. I work from home, I don’t get out that much, and I’ve always been reticent about actually talking to people. So, I’ve never been great at making friends, even when I was younger and around more people. As I get older, I get even less interested in interacting with new people. Part of that is just general apathy about people and relationships caused by decades of being a loner. Even when I do have to socialize with people for work or whatever, I’m more interested in when I can stop doing that than actually making new connections.
