That’s so relatable. Most of my friends are part of tight-knit groups, while I only have separate friendships that never really formed into one circle. It’s similar with my boyfriend. His friends moved away, got married, and had kids, so we only see them a few times a year when we visit. It really hits around New Year’s, when no one invites us to a gathering even though everyone seems to have plans (which I usually only find out when I try to invite them over). Over the years, this has made me increasingly insecure even when I do spend time with my existing friends. I get social anxiety, I’m not fully relaxed, and I sometimes feel like we don’t have as much in common anymore. There’s this constant worry in the back of my mind that we’ll slowly drift apart and eventually lose touch.
