View submission: How big is your social circle?
I have a group of 4 work friends that have moved on. We meet about once a month to ride trails and meet for lunch. This is going on about 5 years now.
Another group of 9 we meet once a week for D&D and once a year for weekend. This is going on about 8 years now.
Last group which I've known the longest are my internet gaming buddies of 5 and we are spread across the country. We talk almost nightly on the computer and game. Wednesdays are crafting night and Friday is generally a show or movie night. Once a year we meet up and spend a week hanging out. This is going on about 13 years now.
Each group is independent of the other. Not a single friend comingles with the others.
It got challenging trying to find friends with all the same interests of mine. It just wasn't happening. Eventually it got to the point that I wasn't doing what I wanted with friends prior to these groups. It ended up being what they wanted and I just wasn't having fun. I isolated myself for a long time and fell into depression watching my years ago by.
Now I have 3 distinct groups, of very close friends, and my life is happy and I have things to do with passionate friends.
Oh yeah, something something my wife, something something daughter. I reintroduce myself to them at the dinner table nightly.
There's nothing here!
