Seriously! 😭

It sure is 😩

People always act like they are so needy that they need a full time friend immediately and they are so busy, they can never hang out. Figure it out. Either you have no time or you have no need... it's very annoying to never see a balance of the two IMHO.

It’s just so hard, everyone is busy and I have zero to little time on my hands as it is… I feel like when I make a friend, the expectations are too high and I can’t commit to being a full time friend 🤦‍♀️ I need a friend who is on the same level and won’t get offended if I don’t respond in a minute lol

I constantly feel like I'm reaching out to people, but it never seems to lead anywhere. I just really need that one friend with whom I can truly be myself, share life, and rely on.

Same girl ❤️

@Mackarena yep! Respectful of your time

Because the way we were taught to make friends is by proximity. When you're little you make friends with neighborhood kids, daycare kids, or kids in your class. You also are all going through similar developmental stuff and have a common interest (playing). As we get older we tend to have less free time and more specific interests. That's why it's easier to make friends at work, church, or a community group than just in your neighborhood. You have a common ground and a reason to spend time together. Also those friendships happen naturally over time. People online often want to skip the in-between stage and go from strangers to friends really quickly.
