I AM close to one person and have had close friends before. But it’s getting harder as I get older and they seem more fluid than before. I don’t expect things to last. “Fair weather friends” are easy to find but not ones that stick by you through thick and thin. Just one more close friend would go a long way. And I know some people have friends they have known since childhood, going through life together. I never had that. I don’t see how they pull that off really.

Yep most friendships are fluid, I don’t expect anything to last either. I agree fair weather friends are easy to find, I think most people are fair weather friends and have fair weather friends. In terms of people having friendships since childhood, I actually think most of them had a small hiatus in the friendship where they weren’t talking and it doesn’t even have to be for a bad reason. Just the passage of time can separate people and bring them back together, I never had a life long friendship either.
