Finding new friends isn't exactly something people just go out and do. Usually it happens at work or school or someplace where you just connect with someone. I mean, my closest friends I've known since high school. They're like my family. I cannot say the same about friends I've picked up along the way at work or college or anything like that.
Yeah. I was sorta friends with people I shared classes with in school, but since we kept getting shuffled around every three years there wasn't really anyone I could stick with. And forget about university - I
know a ton of dudes, but I haven't really been around any of them for long enough to call them friends - which in turn makes me feel awkward about trying to
stay around them, because I'm already the type to only speak occasionally, so I'd end up just watching most of the time. Feels like a quick route to "that one guy that hangs around us but isn't really one of us".
Well, there was the one guy in my neighbourhood, we were pretty good friends. Or well, there were a ton of guys in the neighbourhood, but they were all either older or younger... even this one friend was a year younger. Just one year, but in terms of separating people in school that might as well be the Berlin wall.
Unfortunately his family made a bit more money than mine, and moved out to a slightly nicer area... on the opposite of school, which was already 1000m away. [parasitic bomb] luck for me, I guess.
Maybe when I have a job, especially since I'd be able to afford picking up Fencing again. That was fun, and it should be much easier to find someone of like enough mind to naturally befriend.
