May you are doing a great job, but internally you tell yourself you aren't? @ArraDreaming

What do you think?

I'm logging off now, but I'm very interested to see where this conversation leads.

not just internally @tyme like I see it everyday when I know other people are catching up with people and going to the footy and things and I love my family but sometimes I want to go do social things without them just occasionally like normal people seem to do, and I don’t do that….. I love my partner and she is my best friend but sometimes I just want have a couple mates

Here's a thought (from an amateur friend-maker). Common enemies. Or maybe common adversities ("adversity" seems a less personal and probably more productive way of approaching it). It's an old trick we use to bond with each other

Shared interests are also good. But even having said that, people's battles and how they battle them can be pretty interesting.

Feels also worth saying, friends aren't always allies.

And, allies aren't always friends.

But, allegiance is a good quality in friendship.

Are you upset with the post above @ArraDreaming ? Or it is that you don't understand what has been posted?
