    “Make friends”? Is that some form of magic spell I never learned? Jokes aside I have severe social anxiety, I feel it is almost impossible to make new friends haha. The friend group I refer to here is all from elementary school and I’m nearly 30 now… They’re just drifting away regardless of what I do to try to stop it

      I’m impressed it stayed together that long. Unfortunately, most people get a partner and settle down, which sucks if you don’t. You can’t stop them from entering that new phase, which is painful if it means you no longer have a place in their lives.

      Finding new people your age sucks because most people who have focused their attention on family and jobs. The one bit of solace you can take is that most people become less happy when they have kids and work more.
