I see a lot of posts here that are seeking friends within a certain demographic and I find them so lovely cause I love community but I usually avoid them.
I am not someone that enjoys going out but most of the posts want that. Sometimes it is cause I lack the money but most times I just prefer being indoors. I know it is nonsensical but I wish I had friends who just wanted to just connect over screens, occasional picnics, art events and maybe a planned roadtrip once a year. No restaurants, no clubs, no music festivals. Nothing that makes me feel ashamed for not having a certain income.
I also have a pervasive drive for autonomy and I hate when demands are placed upon me ( yes I am neurodivergent) that I cannot meet or simply do not want to meet. Maybe this is just a silly post that will get buried but more than anything I want to feel safe in a friendship. No social gatekeeping or phobias.
Thanks for reading ❤️ We keep holding the line
