It’s lonely being an adult
It’s the worst.
Trying to make friends as an adult is hard work!
All these political opinions, skewed world views, left and right biases.
I just want to hang out with some other like minded people.
Some might, but many wind up with a partner because they fall in love with eachother. It’s like having an ultra best friend you get to live with.
Stay out there, enjoy your hobbies, and friendships will form naturally with like-minded people :)
Personally, having a partner is not a replacement for friends. There are emotional needs that my partner fulfills that my friends can’t and vice versa.
A partner can definitely become a best friend, but i don’t think it’s healthy to have every role fulfilled by one person as it makes you very dependent on them.
Totally agreed. I had to explain to my partner that they were not my best friend. My partner is my partner and my friend is my friend. They have different roles and responsibilities. Took some time for my partner to get used to, especially since they don’t have a best friend.
Honestly, I’ve met a lot of people who settled with the wrong person just because they don’t want to be lonely. It’s a terrible situation to be in, especially if they have children with that person.
I’ve been single for a long time, and it does get lonely, but I’ve been trying to get out more. It also beats being stuck with the wrong person.
My partner passed away recently and I found myself suddenly alone in the world. A few friends have their own lifes so I joined a hiking group and it was the best decision of my life. Always looking forward to get back on the trail with like minded people where I made new friends. Lots of single people there so yeah we are human and we need companionship.
