Making friends as an adult is hard
>talk to guy at bar, gym, coffee shop, local event, even music festivals
>think conversation is going ok, we talk
>add on instagram/social media/texting
>chat for a bit
>get ghosted
>rinse and repeat
feels like most people just lean on old college/high school connections and splinter off into micro friend groups.
i missed that window -- first 2 years of college were online thanks to covid, and high school was non-traditional so no real social base there either.
now it's just occasional conversations that go nowhere.
no follow-up, no continuity.
just digital echoes and the same cycle over and over.
