View submission: Relationship minimalism
Same..4 good genuine friends, 1 local and the other 3 live elsewhere but we stay in touch. No drama. Everyone else is more of a superficial casual relationship (except family). I like this aspect of minimalism and hadn't actually thought of it this way until you pointed it out. In the past when I was involved in groups the drama would often amp up one way or another. I do play a sport as a hobby but that is also a casual social thing and so far, no drama. I've also never done the FB thing so that might factor in to keeping "crazy" on the low side.

Hehe fair....Facebook does get pretty crazy with everyone over-sharing and faking intimacy and friendship, and I prefer something more genuine and intentional in my life. :D I am there with you on all that. I had a very similar experience with groups....especially close-knit groups where there's some level of unhealthy codependence.
