Making friends as adults is so difficult
They don't know your life, may say something that triggers your PTSD But now you cannot react, though hurt You cannot drive them away because it isn't even their fault
🥺😪
I feel if people meet with similar intentions, it won't be that hard. It certainly takes time though, but can be done. You need to put efforts. We meet so many people, like even if we meet anyone from Grapevine, how many of us have reached out again and put efforts into it? It's not gonna happen on it's own and it certainly cannot be done in 1 meet😅
Most of the people we meet as adults are temporary. Only a few leave a lasting impression. Out of those few, one or two will match your vibes and share a few common interests. It’s up to us how we preserve those precious connections. It’s like “take it or leave it.”
Personally, if I feel someone is worth being a lifelong friend, I always give my best and sometimes I’m ready to go the extra mile to preserve that friendship. Having two or three lifelong friends is far more valuable than having 100 average or fake friends.
As adults, it is diffucult to have selfless friendship. There are a lot of factors which are brought in from both sides and that creates an impact not everyone can handle, but who knows one can get lucky and actually make a real friend who stands by you through thick and thin. For the tree of friendship to flourish efforts shld be made from both sides.
