I have no close friends or casual friends. Hell, I have no friends. With the possible exception of one, who is the closest thing I have to a friend. He was also my boss of 31 years. We met at work 31 years ago. We know each others' families, I watched his daughters grow up, and was invited to their weddings. We don't work together anymore, and now only occasionally text or call. I always knew this would happen.

I know a lot of people, but I wouldn't even call them acquaintances. They are people I work with and people I've done some sort of business with. I've had friends come and go over the years. I find it hard to maintain friendships. I don't socialize with co-workers, even at work events. I avoid holiday parties, luncheons and things of that nature.
