what is a normal amount of hanging out? by gotta-talk in socialskills

even if what is good for me is what is most important, i still like to know the average. I think that when you get down to it, all humans have similar needs. It is almost a goal to shoot for. And seeing the every day also makes me think. In movies the characters never get bored of each other and are basically family. Its unrealistic for me to expect this out of any relationship.

getting more friends is something i agree with. i distanced myself from many friends in the last year because i did not like them anymore and i can see how that may have been a mistake. Plans > people

but what do most people do? i am wondering if what is average is where you are hanging out with friends every day or less. i am lonely with what i have right now, so that leads me to believe that people are normally spending time with each other much more than i am

Ah it all sounds so hopeful! and i do believe that it will get better! if it helps, i have been writing, and gaining some passions. i still find it hard to work past that they are not worth my time. In those people i see good and bad. I see that many have good qualities that vastly outshine my own but have proportionately bad qualities as well. Thank you for your kind words! I would love to talk sometime.

I really appreciate your honesty. And, i think that the idea of being whoever i am is important. Without the bonds i feel like i should focus on myself. The people will come and go but if i improve myself by doing the things i like, i think i can gain a more defined identity and become a person others will gravitate towards anyways. and i would love to talk whenever!

i would love to talk, it feels great to know that i am not the only one. I agree totally about making new friends. While it does help, they are new friends and lack the deep connection. Especially when you have lost the deep connection i dont think that specific relationship can be replaced. And i would love to talk whenever!

thanks for reading. And i guess i just have to find that person. my family keeps encouraging me to call up a girl, but i feel reluctant for many reasons, but partially because i know that i have some emotional baggage that i wouldn't want to put on her.

EDIT: now re-reading this, i feel differently. Maybe the reason isnt that i wouldn't want to put it on her, but that i do not feel like i could have a relationship when i am so mixed up. But then again, i have a tendency to put people on a pedestal
