Personally I'm not friends with any of the people I was in high school because they all turned into right wing dipshits completely devoid of empathy.
Pretty eye opening when somebody you were friends with for a decade says they don't have any sympathy for homeless people sleeping outside in the winter because they should just get a job without a whiff of irony.
But that's also because I chose to live in a rural area so I consider the fact I'm surrounded by straight up fucking nazis to be an unfortunate side effect of being able to go outside for long periods of time uninterrupted.
That and it's a lot more affordable. Not necessarily affordable in decent housing, but you know. There's absolutely a tradeoff in needing transportation to better jobs.
