All of my acquaintances that even come close to being real friends and either 10+ years younger or older. and i mean friends in a very low contact way...like in church. no quality time, no invites...and i stopped chasing them. And people my age are married with kids and working. i dont think i'm very palatable but i think i'm enjoyable. my best friend was my Mom who passed, now it's an older lady adopted as my grandma.
