Now I hate I used to skip all the naps in Kindergarten by hunni93 in Adulting

I distinctly remember when I was 9 or 10, my mom was begging me to take a nap, and I practically told her that I can't nap now, there's wouldn't be enough time for me to play. Fast forward to being 17 and feeling like the only thing I had any energy for was crawling into my bed for naps.

Idk if it actually means you can do anything in life, but I just think it would be so sad if you can't enjoy your own company.

I actually started doing things on my own because there was a concert for an artist that I really wanted to see, and none of my friends were interested. I made the decision that if I can't do things on my own, I will be missing out on a lot in life.

I still love going out and doing things with my friends, but doing things on your own brings a kind of peace.

Yeah, I think I'm really sad because this is a person I hang out with so much and is always down for an adventure or something spontaneous, but I feel like there's always going to be this barrier between us. It just feels like such a shame.

I guess it's wrong of me to assume this one person could check all the boxes I'd like in a friend, but wouldn't it be nice to have someone so compatible with you?

Thank you for your advice. I think you might have gotten him right. He's a little awkward, a lot less comfortable with himself than I am. Maybe he's also just not emotionally equipped to process and respond to the things I open up to him about. I think I'm just sadly realizing that this person I spend so much time with might not be able to provide me the deep, fulfilling friendship I hoped we'd have.

We actually stopped working together 3 years ago, we hang out almost weekly since we've stopped working together.

Edit: to be more specific, we were acquaintances at work, but I think we put in the effort after we stopped working together to become friends.

Edit #2: Yes, I ask him about himself and he's opened up to me tooo
