This may be an absolute hot take, but I’m just trying to casually read some of these posts for a new easy breezy chat friend and half of these posts are people droning on about being single parents, their impending divorces, and how horrible their lives are.
Look, that sucks, sorry to hear that, we all make bad choices, but I’m here to make a new friend not be your free therapist.
Not saying people have to be perfect to make a new friend but ffs talking about what bands you enjoy, or the books you’ve read is a much better post and opener than pouring out your life story, and why you’re getting a divorce in the first message!! Seriously, step out of yourself for a moment, read your post. Do you even want to be your own friend right now?
Things to talk about in a seeking new friends post:
- who you are (outside of your failing marriage and kids);
- what kind of music you like (no I don’t mean what your soon-to-be ex wife listens to);
- moments in your life that made you feel genuine joy and happiness;
- how much you love your children
What NOT to talk about:
- your divorce;
- why you hate your wife;
- your divorce;
- your soon-to-be ex-wife;
- your divorce!
If you are still so overcome with grief that you must absolutely burden someone with talk about your failing marriage there are licensed and paid professionals who can assist you through talking out those feelings. It’s not here though!!!
