It’s something I’ve noticed since in the past 20 years. It’s super hard to make friends. Providing you find people closer to my age with any common interests. In my case it seems especially hard to find common interests. I guess I’m much younger at heart than I am physically. But when I do think I’ve found a friend, it ends shortly after I’ve been useful to that person.
It’s like people no longer like to hang out and just converse with one another or share an interest. It’s always they see you like someone they can use to get things done. Once they’ve gotten what they want from you, it’s basically over without any warning. Should you want to just hang out with them, they no longer have time for you. Usually by ignoring your calls, texts or verbal requests.
Why is that? What happened to spending hours just sharing time with a person? Now it’s do them a favor or don’t bother at all. Person after person has come and gone in my life over the years and I generally come out feeling used. I’ve made one new friend in the past 20 years that doesn’t expect anything but good company from me. It’s great! But outside of that, time has taken it’s toll on me and I no longer seek friends. Or anyone to go out with. Dating is the same way. It’s use or be used. Never share and grow. Hence MGTOW.
It’s a good thing I like solitude 🙂
