Just making plans and exchanging numbers and following each other on Instagram doesn’t make you friends.
I’ve done that so many fucking times throughout my life.
There have been so many casual people in my life.
So many.
As I mentioned before, I’ve had an extremely social life.
People keep coming and going.
There have been so many casual people.
But very few friends.
Friendship requires connection, rapport, shared experiences, trust and safety etc.
A friend is a valuable word man.
