because most people don't want friends. they just want people to listen to them whine about their life.

every 'friend' i have made as an adult has been nothing more than someone who wants me to be their therapist. so i gave up and I'm much happier w/o people who are constant drags on my well-being.

i'm so sick of like hanging out with someone a few times, then having them 'open up' to me about how they HATE their wife/kids/job and other weird ass shit that I have zero empathy for experience with. and then they think i'm an asshole because I won't sit there and tell them what a bitch their wife is.
