i actually think "surface level" friendships are very healthy. not everyone in your life has to be your ride or die. some friends are for the gym. some are for going out. some are just for complaining about work or bureaucracy. when you stop expecting everyone to be your everything, the disappointment disappears. those deep convos and connections are for the 2-3 people closest to you
I see why ppl stick with their partners and not friends once they get into relationships. Friends don’t really be friends. So why not focus your time and energy on someone who does care about you
Men really do make better friends. Less drama, no insecurities projected on to you, not scared to tell you the real, feelings don’t get hurt over everything you do or say…
