[quote=Anonymous]As I get older, I want/need fewer friends. I like spending time alone (and don't get enough alone time now that I have a young child) and don't like when I have social engagements stacked up one after the other. Covid has been a nice break in that respect. Starting to think maybe I only want to have maybe two good friends, meaning these are people I will make a point to check in with regularly and see frequently. And then I have lots and lots of people I genuinely like and enjoy seeing, but can also go 5 months without interacting and it's no big deal. I feel like the vast majority of my friends can fall in that latter group and I can just focus on a couple people at a time. It doesn't even have to be the same two people all the time -- I imagine it could easily change as jobs and families change, or if someone moves. Do other people experience this? Do you have as many friends at 45 as you did at 35 (I am 42, FWIW)? Or is this a sign I'm getting antisocial?[/quote]
