[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, why don't you two have close family.  Are your parents alive?[/quote]

Because they both abandoned them and moved across the country for soulless careers. [b]Getting college grads to abandon their families to seek jobs in 10 largest major metros has to have been the biggest scam ever pulled[/b]. Gutted families, hollowed out entire swaths of the nation, low birth rates because nobody has nearby family to help raise kids, and has led to a loneliness and depression epidemic we will never solve.[/quote]

Did you not play Oregon trail?

The problem isn’t that I had a career in a big city. In fact during that time I had a very active social life and plenty of friends.

Problem is I had kids and now live around families that seemingly do not socialize with anyone else nor do they appear to have any interest in doing so. People leave their house to drive their kids to activities but that is it.

I live near a very nice woman who has young kids and lives across the stress from another seemingly nice woman with young kids. They have never hung out and have lived across the street from each other for 3 years. It’s completely bizarre to me. No need to be best friends, but to not have once invited the other person over or made any effort to get to know each other is strange.

I do think the internet and ability to easily communicate electronically with friends from the past provides a false sense of friendship and prevents people from making new friends and connections. Both the women I mentioned above probably have friends from earlier who they text with and occasionally see. However they don’t have a single friend in their community who they could call to grab lunch.

I hate living this way.

I find it odd that you keep such close tabs on your neighbors. How do you have no idea they're not grabbing lunch without you? My immediate neighbors may know when we host things at our house, if they're paying attention, but they have no idea what my plans for today are since they involve being out of my house. [/quote]

+1. Creepy af. And then wonders why she has no friends.[/quote]
