you assume everyone is like you so you are falsely projecting yourself onto others.
you postulate that if you have few friends, you are better than those that have many.

a means to an end... hmmm, sounds like every situation we enter is only entered because it may present us with some opportunity. Geeez, what percentage of the population doesn't operate with normal human instincts? OH! drunkenmunkey.... I guess you count as 1 since you seem to disagree. You know im as right as this guy. i postulate that with uttmost postuability.

Finally, I said cutting your own path CAN, not WILL MOST CERTAINLY. Now, I've read you many times, and you make sence. So if you disagree, i'll concider your postulations, as im sure you've postulated even the unpostulatable postulates.

I have the same number of friends that I had when I was a kid. The thing is now I don't see them every day like the old days when we had nothing to do but hang out and party. Friends that I would see practically every day when I was in college - I now see them maybe twice a year. Everyone has families and jobs and other responsibilities.

What an awesome quote!!! I've sigged it too.

Is it an original, or do you know where it came from originally??

With regards to the original topic - I'm an adult (legally if not mentally) and I have more friends than I've ever had and I seem to keep making more ?

Just go to a local pub. The secret is to become a tradie, you'll always have friends and drinking buddies and a nagging wife and boring kids on drugs.

I have pretty much the same friends I had in high school. When the family and business come into the picture, I got really focused on that and I am just now able to relax a bit more and get back into having a social life.

I think getting married and having kids is a big part of not having as many friends. I dont think it keeps out friends all together. I'm just settling into a serious relationship, and I noticed that I tend to spend the most time with just a few friends who are extremely important to me. It's not that I don't want to see my friends it's just that I've found the person that I like to go home to and relax with during the week days. I think that's what most people tend to look for. I'm not saying all, just a lot of people do look for the person they can do that with. Its a lot of energy keeping up with multiple people. I think that's why it's also easier to keep more friends when you are younger. There's probably a number of small reasons why that all just add up.

I'm later-years old, and I can count two BEST buds, 3 GOOD buds, and around 7 buds. No, not talking of the brand of beer here, LMAO.

Sadly, my BEST buds aren't around, {geographically speaking}. Doesn't and
