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
The weirdest correlation / causation about the worlds obsession with thinness is the amount of friends who no longer wanna grub/drink with me and I’m saving hella money.
