A relatable post I wanna make and talk about is...
I feel like making new friends is hard. But not for reasons people think. I think a lot of us are more socially graceful and likeable than what we give ourselves credit for. So I don't think it's cause anyone is that genuinely unlikeable.
The part's that hard is that you are essentially competing with all the friends someone already has. And I know that sounds negative cause friendship isn't supposed to be a competition. But at the end of the day, all of us only have so much time and energy in our days so it only makes sense that people are more likely to give that time to that friend of one, 2, or 5 years. I mean, I don't know the exact numbers, but wasn't there some social science saying humans can only maintain 100 or so meaningful social connections?
What I'm trying to get at is to not feel bad if someone seems distant or forgot about you. With how crazy the world and our individual lives can be, there's a very real chance that time simply got away from them. Now, this part requires some social grace. Don't go harassing or spamming someone, but if it's been a while? It doesn't hurt to send another message and check in again. Let your relationships form organically and remember all time given, even the smallest bit of it, is precious because we can never get it back. I think if you do that, friendship and familial love will find you.
