When you’re growing up you don’t realize how different your life my be when you’re an adult. I definitely wasn’t miss popular, but most people knew me because I grew up in a small town, and most people knew my parents or my family. I had friends growing, here and there. But meet my best friends the year of 8th grade. We were friends all through high school and a few of us were still pretty close after we graduated.
But as the years go on and you get older, people move on with their lives. Building families, starting careers or college, move away, etc. We all fell in love and life started to get in the way. We had kids or health issues and eventually stopped talking as much.
Now, the only interaction with adults I get, besides ranting to my husband, is when I’m at work or on social media. Which to be fair, who knows if it’s actually adults or children prentending.
It’s lonely as an adult. Especially for someone who doesn’t have any siblings, one dead parent, and the other parent over 1200 miles away and we barely speak. I have no true friends, just people in passing really. Coworkers, distant family members, doctors. Those aren’t people you usually invite to your house to hangout or whatever.
So, how do you meet friends as an adult?? I’m lost. I haven’t really “made” friends in at least 15 years!
