With this mental health baggage of mine & especially being older now, I found/find myself keeping friends at bay (in person), with communication only being Facebook & rarely phone. Because I know the conversation will turn to their job, income, marital relationship, family, kids, vacations, toys they own like cars, motorcycles, etc. All things that have pretty much been halted in my life bc of mental health. Basically I have nothing to say. While their lives kept progressing when we were in our 20's, my life got stuck there. *Sigh*
