View submission: About loneliness and how our interactions are reducing day by day
After a certain age threshold, finding friends you can be comfortable with gets harder and harder. 🥲

replying to agree with this poster. I am 38 and have a ton of friends but it takes a lot of work, and you have to be relatively shameless in initiating. But it is possible if you want to make it a priority. Assuming you are North American, don't take for granted that Canadians and Americans are open and friendly. I recently moved to Germany and it is a homogenous, non-anglophone, reserved social culture so this is making friends in hard mode! I will still keep trying, though!

I don't buy it. I refuse to believe this is true, and if it is I'll pretend it isn't and keep looking for friends no matter how much harder or easier it is.
I can't rely forever on the friends I have now, so I have to keep recruiting until death anyway.
