im turning 27 and i havent had a friend since i was 23 years old. i get lonely often but at the same time friends suck up your free time. i now have so much time to dedicate to important things. id rather not be throwing my time and money into a bottomless pit called "socializing".
Frienships are tricky because even though two people might become close, it doesn't mean they are such a good fit for each other. There are also lots of people who just are not capable of being a good friend. I know from experiences based on
1. Their actions - How they treat you vs others
2. How they talk to you vs how they talk to others
3. Can you be yourself around them?
4. Can they commit?
5. Are they sincere?
6. Where are you on their list?
7. Are they honest with you?
