I’m Pretty Sure I’m A ‘Floater’ friend. But I’m okay with it?
Hello! I (16F) have been thinking about my friendship situation. Since elementary school (like right before Covid) I’ve shifted and moved through many different friend groups. I never really had my ‘clique’ or designated friend group. I’ve always kind of just become friends with one person and become “friends” or associates with their friends. In middle school, I thought I made my clique but it ended up just being a really toxic situation. I’ve never really wanted a ton of friends. I’m a firm believer in quality over quantity. Just like 2-3 people in my close circle would literally suffice. I look at all these big circles in my school and just see and hear drama. I came up with that term “floater” before I’d even known it’d been coined. It makes perfect sense. The person who talks to a lot of different groups, is friendly with most, but doesn’t have their group. I’m not going to say, i wouldn’t like to have my own group. But at my school specifically you either float, have a group, or are entirely alone. It’s mostly made of intricate groups. I rarely text or contact others tho because I have no reason to. I think about my life and where it is right now. The only thing i’d want to change is having my own group, but without one my life is still good. I’m the most social version of myself I’ve been since I went quiet in 6th grade and had to retrain myself into being social. I say all this to say is it weird to be okay with not having any close friends?
