Having moved to a location at 54 where I knew absolutely NO ONE it has been interesting to observe how some people I have met have become close friends while others have stayed acquaintances.
I never had friends where I lived before but many acquaintances. My EX-H was not social & had no idea how to connect with people. I was focused on my education & career. I enjoyed being around the people in my life but real friendships were nothing I had ever experiences in my parents life or in my own marriage. I always wondered if there was more to relationships than the surface level I always experienced from observing what others had but thought at the time it was just my imagination & they had nothing more than I did.
Since moving here & being able to experience relationships on my own without external forces of parents or H I have found that I do & am capable & enjoy connecting with people at a friendship level while I also am ok with those who are at the acquaintance level. Both are good. Friendships sometimes take more work with contact though I have close friends locally & those friendships just happen naturally. I ho estly had no idea if I could even connect to anyone at a deeper level when I moved here after my life experiences. It is nice to have both but not necessary.....depends on what each person wants
