Making friends as adults is so difficult

They don't know your life, may say something that triggers your PTSD But now you cannot react, though hurt You cannot drive them away because it isn't even their fault

I feel if people meet with similar intentions, it won't be that hard. It certainly takes time though, but can be done. You need to put efforts. We meet so many people, like even if we meet anyone from Grapevine, how many of us have reached out again and put efforts into it? It's not gonna happen on it's own and it certainly cannot be done in 1 meet😅

100% true! Even if the vibes matched, continuing being in touch is one thing. Plus I don't want to be a pile on, I don't message them even 😢

If you wanna make friends, you should. No one's coming to rescue us. We are all we got for our troubles unfortunately 😅

When you're young you bond over common interests. When you're adulting you bond over trauma.

Most of the people we meet as adults are temporary. Only a few leave a lasting impression. Out of those few, one or two will match your vibes and share a few common interests. It’s up to us how we preserve those precious connections. It’s like “take it or leave it.”

Personally, if I feel someone is worth being a lifelong friend, I always give my best and sometimes I’m ready to go the extra mile to preserve that friendship. Having two or three lifelong friends is far more valuable than having 100 average or fake friends.

As adults, it is diffucult to have selfless friendship. There are a lot of factors which are brought in from both sides and that creates an impact not everyone can handle, but who knows one can get lucky and actually make a real friend who stands by you through thick and thin. For the tree of friendship to flourish efforts shld be made from both sides.

Why is making friends so hard as an adult?

Recently I was having a discussion with one "friend" which quickly turned into an argument and now I think we are done with each other forever. The argument made me realise that the more we grow up, the more we firm the boundaries around...
