I don’t mean banter or just shooting the shit. but discussions or talking with friends about things in your life, or theirs… ya know, showing an interest in someone’s life because they matter to you or them having an interest in your life because you matter to them?
Semi recently. I’ve got a group of college friends who hang out on discord most nights to game and chat. Most of the time it’s shooting the shit, but we occasionally mix in life talk. We all have some bundle of mental health issues, so stuff related to that comes up a lot. One of my friends has been trying to find a romantic partner and we’ve been giving our fairly limited advice to him on his search.
It’s kind of a shame that we’re not geographically close enough to see each other in person to be more directly supportive, but it is what it is and we’ve had a few visits over the years. ATM I’m with 2 of them on a trip and we got to spend a lot of time chatting.
Too long ago. I’m lonely now.
Oh lmao
Never had real friends…
I mean other than those “school friends” that you never hang out outside of school…
Ha! Friends…
Over the weekend.
Uh, I wouldn’t call anyone my friend if I can’t or don’t talk to them about that stuff.
Yesterday. As a matter of fact quite often, I’ve found wonderful people to have deep conversations about our projects for our lives, about politics, science… you name it. And of all places, in VR Chat. It’s the new third place, a forum to gather without the economical pressure of consuming.
Being freeware helps, I like to join bar maps and just talk to randos sometimes but right now it’s all about the Fish! map. It’s basically VR Webfishing.
Last Wednesday. We regularly go out to a local pub for trivia night and converse face to face there.
You guys have friends?
Every time I see them, in this case a little over a week ago.
Almost Everyday and I have a super small circle.
Over the weekend.
I don’t see small talk or whatever as a sign of a lack of interest in someone. Sometimes there’s nothing that deep going on to talk about.
When is the last time you had actual
conversations withfriends?I gave up on that a long time ago because as it turned out the answer to the modified question was never.
In the summer when we see each other more at least weekly.
In the winter it is a lot more hibernating and activities of daily living so less frequently.
Sunday :3
