Friendship Circle
Jillio31's post made me think. How big is your circle of friends? Do you have 1 set group or a few mini groups. Do your friends mingle with each other?
I have 1 friend I see weekly. 1 Friend that is the BFF and 2 friends that are the wives to DH's friends and we don't see each other on a regular basis. And then I have the nesties.
Re: Friendship Circle
I no longer have any friends that I see on a regular basis. Everyone is at least 1.5 hours from me and they forget to invite me to things. All of my friendships, with both high school & college type friends seem to have become one sided & I seem to value them more than the other person, so they just make me sad. It is hard to maintain them when you don't feel you're important to the other person. I see each of them maybe once per year.
I have no new friends over here, just acquaintances, and haven't been able to bridge the gap. My coworkers all live near work, 45 minutes away, so even the people I get along with there are nothing more than coworkers.
That's why facebook is so important to me. Most of those friends are really acquaintances, but I have more contact with FB people than anyone else & it is the closest to social interaction that I manage these days. I miss having actual friends to hang out with & talk with. I think my relationship with DH would also be healthier if I were able to get out more & talk with other people, than just him.
Zebe: I can understand the one sided relationships. I never had a big crowd of friend in HS or College and I don't talk to those people really anymore. Any work colleagues that I had after I left my job are pretty much gone as well. The few people I can still count as friend we don't see because everyone works crazy schedules. While I have FB account I don't talk to a lot of people on it. That's why I like this board.
How far away are you?
