    For me it takes effort to maintain friends. I’m very good at making them but I don’t really care for keeping them. I’d much rather be by myself

    The few people who accept this and done take it personally, are the ones who are closest to me. But it’s not close by any common means

      That’s interesting and mostly relatable. After a few months of happy isolation during lockdowns, I realized that I do have some meagre needs for the good society of a friend from time to time.

      But yeah not a lot of people are OK with that sort of “out of sight out of mind” type friendship. The people who are you treat like gold, though. Or at least I do, because I actually need them.
