I've been realizing more and more that I don't really have that many friends anymore. When I think about people that I would just call up out of the blue to hang out with, only two people come to mind: my bf and my best girlfriend. Sure, I have other friends, but I keep drifting further and further from them. Honestly, it's not just from a lack of trying, but I don't want to try. I feel like I don't connect with them anymore and it feels forced to try to hang out and talk. I wish I could say it was because I depend on my bf too much but that's not even true - I know that if he wasn't around, I would just sit at home alone anyway and be even more of a social recluse...
I think lately I've just mentally upped the standards I set for people I want to hang out with. I've been trying to cut myself off from toxic people that I know make me unhappy or people I think are shallow and I can't really hold a real conversation with. I'm not trying to be a snob, but I don't think there's anything terribly wrong with being a little picky about friends. I mean, how often is it said on here to get rid of negative and toxic people? I just feel like I'm not finding the good, supportive, fun people to take the place of the people I'm getting rid of...
I don't really have the money to go join some new group or hobby right now. I remember reading a thread that had a website with a bunch of like-minded groups on there - which I visited once, but then I forgot the website and I can't find the thread. Does anyone know what it was or have any other advice for getting out there and finding more friends? I've always been of the mindset that it's better to have a few close friends than a million mediocre acquaintances, but it's really depressing when my bf's at work and my friend is out of town and I realize that I have no one else I want to call...![]()
