in real life i do not have any friends. except my wife. some 10-12 years ago i was told that if i was always the one calling and initiating social stuff, the relationship(s) were imbalanced and unequal. so i stopped calling the few friends i had, to give them a chance to reciprocate. they never did. even people who claimed i was part of their family, said they loved me, never called me once in those 10-12 years. the only person who ever gave me any explanation was the one i had been friends with the longest – “you are too much”, he said.
too much what?
i don’t know, and i am not likely to ever know. yes, i am bitter, and i am lonely. and confused.
apart from the home assistance team that comes around twice a week to help me clean and a paid personal contact whom i meet once a month i have no social connections in real life.

I wish I lived closer. However, the commute is a deal breaker. HUGS!

*sigh* I know how to get friends, social life and all that… but I find it “too much” – too much work for too little payback.
But I’m blessed – I have a big family 🙂 I don’t NEED more tribe.
I would want some… I would want to have friends to go out with, to go see movies, go out and eat, go to concerts and exhibitions, museums and happenings, I would like to have book clubs and discussion groups and travel and such… I would like to have a friend to go swimming with, and training with… I want to have a tribe that is not family.
But I don’t want to pay… I don’t want to go out, I don’t want to commit, I don’t want to make room for social interaction in my life… it’s irritating enough to make space for the people that are already there.
But – I can give you assignments, if you really want to find your tribe, Henric.
P.S. I hate it that I have to log in with my word press identity. I want to use the Google one.
