Deadsplinter Up! All Night: Finding Friends

The Hangout Is Real

Spent a good chunk of the weekend with friends, which is sometimes such a revelation. We’ve all read/heard/opined how hard it is to gain friends as an adult (and it is), but I’ve been fortunate to have made these friends not only as a grown-up, but fairly recently in the case of one friend. So now I have to catch up on my sleep, after staying up way too late with friends.

  1. I’ve been kind of upset recently with one of my oldest and best friends.  He came out with a rant about being anti-abortion and then said he was going to vote for Trump.  He never votes & I think he is just trying to get a reaction on Facebook but I told him off & now don’t want to see him when we go to Hawaii.

    Oh well, it is Monday night & two of my pro drummer friends are coming over soon for beers!

     

  2. It’s funny — we had made some friends with the parents of one of my daughter’s elementary school friends, and hung out quite a lot for several years. Then I lost the job I had at the time, and I called and told them. Not asking for help or anything else, just telling them what happened. I never heard from them again.

  3. I’m glad you found friends. As I get a little older it is rougher to find friends. I realized going back to university that I can’t be friends with a lot of classmates. I suspect it is also me because I’m not the easiest guy sometimes to get along with too.

    On the other hand I’ve also been better at getting rid of toxic friends too as I found I hung onto them way too long for my own good (former housemate, for example.) Sad to see them go, but it is often for the best (for both sides.)

    The worst part of getting older is having a shrinking friend circle either because of death or shunning/disagreements.
