Joke's on you, my country is tiny, so I can just visit them frequently anyway

Bro lives in smallistan πŸ’€

Well, The Netherlands, so yeah, pretty much.

Country? The world. My handful of friends is scattered across the continents, and I see them maybe once a decade. Vampirism is a lonely existence, I hear.

I get to see my friends at a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We should probably go to that this year

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 4 points 1 week ago

I literally don’t get to see them otherwise. Plus that is how we met.

Why you gotta call me out like this

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Man, that person really needs more friends. Not a diss either. I have friends spanning countries, cities, life, I have friends that have died. I have friends that still live. Why the fuck not talk to people and be friends?

Also, am adult.

Not everyone is like this, how you put it, and people have problems. I suppose I speak for myself.

Check your privilege, friend.

because most people don't want friends. they just want people to listen to them whine about their life.

every 'friend' i have made as an adult has been nothing more than someone who wants me to be their therapist. so i gave up and I'm much happier w/o people who are constant drags on my well-being.

i'm so sick of like hanging out with someone a few times, then having them 'open up' to me about how they HATE their wife/kids/job and other weird ass shit that I have zero empathy for experience with. and then they think i'm an asshole because I won't sit there and tell them what a bitch their wife is.

I wouldn't say that. The only friends I've got left are the ones that stayed in the same city as me. I already forgot those who moved away. And the closer someone lives to me, the closer of a friend he is.

I play helldiver's with them maybe once a week! 😭

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Pffft, as if any of our slacker asses have the means or purpose to move that much

[–] ZeDoTelhado@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

So you have people to exchange messages with? Huh, such a novel concept

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

Flying to Panama next month just to visit a friend I haven't seen in 20 years.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Replace "country" with Europe / the world, but otherwise yeah. ;-;

Rabbit videos too. Best way to piss then off lol

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I have about 3 friends that are close and we all meet up weekly. We always go to dinner on Friday night unless we are out of town or something. It's nice. Idk what I did to make it happen but I love it
