I used to have a tight knit group of friends in elementary school, but after that, there has been a few on and off friendships.
They're typically constrained to a year, and they fall apart because my life changes every year.
I've come to the conclusion that I'm not the kind of person who has real friends.
I only have surface level relationships.
At the end of the day, no one knows who I am outside of where I meet these people.
I am uneasily content with this.

I am watching this happen for me in real time.
I don't feel insulted.
After all, they were only surface level friends.
Maybe that's my cope.
I keep them away so that when they leave, I won't feel as bad.
