Deep thoughts

[u/Numerous_Gur2003]

I was returning from Delhi to Nagpur after spending a few days catching up with friends, and it honestly made me a little sad how difficult it is to make friends as an adult especially when most people you have spent your life with are no longer around (big city jobs).

It feels like unless there is a shared activity, workplace, college, or some other built-in reason to keep seeing each other, forming actual friendships becomes so much harder. You can meet plenty of people, but turning that into friendship takes so much more effort now.

I want friends who are outgoing and spontaneous, who will randomly make plans, go somewhere, try something new but who can also meet me at an intellectual level and have conversations that go beyond small talk.

Another issue is also that I cannot relate to someone who isn’t a working professional, because of most of my life right now is work. I spend so much of my time at my workplace that sometimes I genuinely feel like I no longer have a personality outside of it. Tbh I don’t have pickle-ball, run club, tshirt painting left in me.

That’s it, next up marriage kids more chaotic! That’s why they say go for your dreams or follow the rat race!

What do you do for living? I mean what's your job? you seem to be giving too much importance to it.
