[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re admitting that you are angling to form a closer bond. They may sense that pressure. They may not want that. Close friendships happen organically, or not at all. Enjoy people for who an what they are—whether that is a friendly neighbor, a friend you sometimes see at book club, or a lifelong close friend. [/quote] So, there’s actually a lot of research suggesting that in adulthood, developing and maintaining close friendships requires intentional investment of time and energy. Unlimited time, proximity, and energy for relationships allow friendships to develop organically, but those are luxuries many people enjoy only in adolescence and young adulthood, if at all. And beyond young adulthood, there’s a devaluing of friendship in favor of romantic relationships or family relationships. Plenty of books and articles about this if you’re interested. [/quote]
