    We’ve all been there. Believe it or not, I’m pretty introverted, yet I like to chat, at least in a ‘small group’. The internet feels kind of small because each thread you’re in only has a handful of people commenting, so you feel like you’re talking to a small group, despite it being disproportionately lurkers.

    At some point you kind of stop caring, or at least that’s been my experience.

      lol, a month… I lost all the buddies I had all thru high school and a little after cuz during Covid I kinda intentionally unintentionally ghosted everybody, haven’t made solid efforts really since. Like I ghosted everyone for years and years.

      I’ve gotten a lot closer to my family and my gfs family but sometimes I wish I had a good friend. Some of them (my old friends) are legit scary people now tho so I kinda never really regret my decisions I just need a bro that’s not my actual brother lmao.

        I deleted my Facebook account (don’t judge me) 10 years ago and only one person actually called me to ask why I unfriended them…

    with so many instances to choose, how does one not get curious to test another? this is the additional factor that always pushes me to a fresh restart
