I would LOVE to be able to branch out, but as much as I’ve tried in my almost 30 years, it always ends as nothing but a wet fart. Most of the people who I do vibe with (and who tolerate me) exist in the form of potential romantic interests and it just doesn’t work out. I can’t find that “line” of platonicness and romance. From that perspective then, I guess it makes sense why my friendships/commections ceased formation in my adolescence. Doesn’t make it suck any less though lolololol

    I started making close friends in our mutual aid group. If I didn’t do that it probably would have been from a maker space or ugh the gym.

      At the gym I go to, it doesn’t seem like anyone ever socializes with anyone they didn’t come in with (eg. their bf/gf).

      In about 2 years of going most days of the week, nobody has ever tried to strike up a conversation with me.
