All I really have to say is that making and maintaining friendships as an adult is hard.

Speak on it. We underestimate the power of going to school together and living nearby.

So much!

I don't have any "regular" places other than work, and as much as I'd like to develop friendships elsewhere, I can't just "strike up a conversation" with a complete stranger at a cafe/bookshop/Bumble. My hobbies are mostly solo and I haven't found any group activities near me that work with my schedule AND pique my interest AND are affordable, so womp womp.

definitely. And working together. That forced closeness, where you see coworkers more hours a day than your own family.

This is very true. Im on bumble bff trying to make friends and I’ve had some success but some people really do not know how to hold a conversation 💀

It also sucks bc being friends with people from school years can be more from habit than true connection

This. Honestly, for a lot of people they just clock out on friendships entirely once they’ve found their “person” in their dating life. My friend had a relatively easy time of the pandemic lockdown period, for example, because she lived with her then-boyfriend, now-husband. We’ve stayed close (and both of us continue to make the effort to be close friends) but some days she would reflect on how easy and full her life became when she had someone she loved to share a home with, like a built in friend who never left her side. And society also rewards adults who choose to be in romantic relationships and cohabit with partners while actively making it harder for those of us who are single or otherwise living alone, so I don’t even have the same amount of time to socialize as her anymore if I’m going to make rent. (She still works, but she works what should be standard, so 35-40 hours, while I have to say yes to more exploitative conditions because if I don’t, the only source of income is gone and I’m homeless.)

Mte, regardless of who it is it's so tough. I love my bffs to death but we live so far away from each other and we're in completely different jobs. Sometimes just checking in on whatsapp is the best we can do.
