>How have your friends stayed with you the entire time?
We still have the same hobbies (board games, judo, video games) they just do it less because work. We discuss new stuff and enjoy playing together.
>It seems like people who are somewhat normal and successful would ditch someone who's a loser like us
I feel that way too, but also the older I get the harder it is to keep friends. I think we're all just tired, and we know the system is against you. I also do my best to be a nice guy, and I think that cuts you a lot of slack.
>Do they try to help you?
No, but I know they would if I asked. I don't want to be a burden. Two have suggested I move in with them, but they live in a place where I'd have to kick up 1,500$ minimum and they command unreal salaries (one bills 450$/hr), the other is a VP for a bank.
>Do they show any concern for your state of life?
No, they just ask how my family is. They've never asked about a gf, their girlfriends have asked me about it though.
