The Success of Your Social Life Is Largely Luck-Based
I’ve gone from having literally zero friends to many friends, to one or two friends, and back to zero. Over and over.
I’ve stayed very social my whole life, and it’s absolute bullshit that your loneliness is dependent upon “just getting out there.” My most meaningful friendships have come out of pure luck. Putting on an extremely fabricated performance at the thousandth event or social outing you’ve been to that week, on the off chance that a friendship will come out of it with someone you barely share any interests with… it’s just bullshit.
