I didn't get many friends the old fashioned way and I turned out fine in the end.

maybe you could have had an even better life had it happened

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Unlikely. The reason I didn't have many friends is simply because I didn't get along with them: my interests were not their interests. It's much more fulfilling to find people who align with and elevate you than to seek popular approval.

If you had access to the same things as them you could have had the same interests?

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

No, because my interests were "reading books" and "knowing things" and I had very little patience for people who did not understand the basic rules to a game on first explanation, for example. That's still true but it's much easier to select your peer group as an adult.

Just accept that soggy doesn't want to be your friend and move on. :)
