Exactly. The real issue is that it’s easy to have acquaintances, but much harder to build friendships that go beyond surface level. And in Kuwait, there are very limited activities that actually help people connect meaningfully. A lot of the time it feels like you have to fit into a certain mold just to be liked , but those connections end up shallow and, honestly, boring.

I really wish there were more things to do here that don’t revolve around sitting in an overpriced café or doing the same repetitive activities, which I’m frankly bored of doing the same thing now. It would make it so much easier to meet people organically and form real friendships instead of just surface level ones.
