Can I be your friend?
Well if you have to ask to be someone’s friend that is never a good sign. Friendships for me grow organically.
You can be an acquaintance if you want.
But not including family I have 15 genuine friends in my life and If I’m being real I don’t feel like I need anymore. I mean if a genuine connection happens I won’t be a dick. But like I said in that getting older post I’ve started not to care as much about certain things which is good in the sense that things that bother other people don’t bother me as much, but sad as somethings that used to give me joy just don’t anymore.
Also I’ve realized As you get older you naturally start to lose some relationships and basically trim the fat of who you want and need in your life.
For example when I was teenager I had like 1000+ friends on facebook and myspace. Now I just got barely 100 but I like it that way. Its people who if they showed up at my door I’d be like yeah sure you can stay here for the night.
But I have tons of acquaintances I’m on really good terms with so there ya go and I’ll always be cordial and polite to people who show me mutual respect because that’s how I am as a person.
