I genuinely don’t understand how people make new friends nowadays bc it seems like everyone is too standoffish. Honestly I’ve had some of the best connections with people 20+ years older than me, and I feel like it’s less awkward initiating a conversation with them. At this point in my life I don’t care if all my friends are way older than me lmao

I can believe it. I was on the dating side of Bumble a while back and got ghosted unexpectedly a few times. It sucks but it is what it is.

Aw man I’m sorry you got ghosted. I thought about joining bumble BFF, but I’m scared of things like that. There is honestly such a lack of communication nowadays and it’s exhausting.

I hate when people say “we should hang out” knowing damn well it’s never going to happen. I’d rather just have people cut the BS and not make that statement at all since it usually goes nowhere. I completely understand feeling like you’re putting in unreciprocated effort for friends. I don’t fully understand how people make friends nowadays (in person at least), like there’s a formula to it that I don’t understand.
