[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t mean this to be mean but I’m really surprised so many people don’t have close friends.  I have at least two from every phase of my life from elementary school through my career.  [/quote]

Yes! I agree this is surprising and sad.  Just be friendly and kind and thoughtful and you will have no problem collecting friends from every stage of life!  [/quote]

Then you were likely stable in life. I moved every year or every 2 years from 10 until 26 and went to 4 different high schools. I also didnt go to college right out of high school. I always felt a phase behind everyone else. Example, while other people in their mid20s graduated and had jobs I was in college finishing my degree plus working FT. I didnt have time to invest in relationships with other people my age and everyone else in college was like 19-21.

I made good friends with people waitressing but once I moved onto a FT job and had a kid, there was little in common and no time to meet up- when they were free, I was working and vice versa. I spent 1 year PP struggling with PPA and then the pandemic hit.

My 1 close friend is from when I was 17. I tried to keep relationships with other HS friends but everyone went their separate ways in college. I have a good friend from work. I have a good new mom friend whose kid and my kid really like each other.
