I agree, however, as more and more folks relocate to the GA coastal areas, I find most are really nice. My parish friends are like my local family as my son lives in south FL.
I am spending my summer visiting all of my remaining relatives and friends.
When you throw away everything that is not important, all that we have left is ourselves and each other. I am renewing old relationships and creating new ones.
I have been trying to get my husband to understand why I need to use the store’s shopping service for our groceries. Yesterday while I was shopping, I ran into an old friend. As much as I enjoyed seeing her, I thought that I would never get away from her. It is hard to explain that I don’t go to the grocery store to socialize!
older friendships seemed to be more of a matter of convenience or some religious / political / cultural connection. It seems the older the person the more hardcore their opinions become and less tolerant others. Then again this seems to be true of most people today.
I don’t blame you, Aunty, I’ve never been great at making friends. But you don’t need more friends, you have all us readers to keep you company every day.

I don’t think we get smarter as we get older. We just run out of stupid stuff to do.

They probably run when they see you coming too.

Adult friends get old. They go away and we don’t know why. Or they just die, leaving us alone again.

They’re too much work.

Friendship takes effort and time.

For some reason, the older I get the fewer friends I have and the more support I need. I said “support” but perhaps I should have said allies.

You have a natural defense against making friends.

Just quote Tom Segura when someone approaches you….. “Nope, I’m all friended up!”
