I think I’m about to lose my oldest friends , and I have zero social skills outside them - where do I restart?
It’s starting to sink in, I’m almost 30 , I was never a valued member of my oldest friend group. I was the jester or the thing to mock.
But frankly I never really made strong friends as an adult cause adult friendships always felt so transactional or friends of convenience. Plus the two friends I did have , kept me in the comfort zone "oh im fine at least these two guys are always there"
I can walk into a room and be confident I’ll walk out with at least one or two teammates for a group project - but those teammates will never become friends except in a handful of cases.
At a certain point, the problem is me , if you’ve been an asocial bedroom type of person who masks when they’re outside as extrovert or living a “normal” life
