[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are lots of posts on here about people being socially lazy and not initiating social contact or hosting. If you like the people, keep asking. It doesn’t mean they aren’t friends though if it really bothers you, you could make a light hint. People are busy, awkward, etc. and the pandemic just made things worse. [/quote]

I agree with this. I'm introverted and also never feel as though I have a lot of spare time for socializing, but I've become friends with people that persisted. One of my closest friends is someone that just kept trying. I joke that she insisted on being my friend. Also, consider that you may not need a lot of friends. My husband doesn't want to spend what little spare time he has with people other than me and family. I take this as a compliment. My friendships have changed about every 7-10 years. I do have a few that I consider life-long, but we don't talk on a daily basis. After watching my mother lose all her close friendships after my father passed away and then being ghosted by a friend I'd known since childhood, I realized family is what really matters. Friendships, for the most part are going to come and go.
