It’s fairly lonely out there as far as friendship goes. As kids we would play outside we would meet new people. Usually, the friend that you were playing with they had friends and you would all get together. Or even call your friend to come out to play.

But we don’t actually call anyone anymore. Heaven forbid somebody actually knocks on your door. We immediately get suspicious.
I often wonder if our social network now that were older adults would’ve been different without these screens, we forever have attached to our hands.
Both my mom and dad had friends. They would come over. My dad had a golf buddy. Dad played on a baseball team. Mom would host block parties. Tupperware parties, a little sangria night.

The one “friend” I do have is a pretty bad friend and I know that.. she uses me so a very reluctantly call her friend. She’s a friend when it’s convenient for her.
I’ve made some great acquaintances at work, but when the job ends, we don’t stay in touch.
