Seems like having no friends is very normal in a world that defines friends in an unreal way. Friends are people who can see me in all my ugly ways ,my humanity.

Real friends are people who see you for who you are beyond your looks and the outside package. Real friends see your soul.

I’m 66 years old and have an empty nest. I have a dog and cat. I get along with them better than I do people. So I’m a weirdo, too!!

So many people just don't get it. Thank you for saying it.

Fuck off, it's my kid. I lost my 36 year old son in December of 2023.

Some people figure that I should be OK now.

My stepfather told me that I need to put it in the past, where it belongs.

My closest friends are my two daughters. And a 29 year old that I work with.

Thank you for saying it.

Your stepfather has no idea how to deal with grief. His solution is to just bury it. How sad for him. He does not know the depth of love. Let your stepfather go and grieve your son. Love willcarry you forward. Grief is love expressed ❤️

Just watched the recording of your chat and really enjoyed it. I have a lot of shit to say, but am too tired to say it.

You were good together, tho. Thanks!

Interesting talk, I enjoyed it. I

remember years ago I was watching Johnny Carson and he said he had five close friends. He was content with that. I have two bestie's I've worked with at different times and still see at least once a month. Thanks again for sharing.

Oh one other thing, I think of all the Canadian people as a friend, and always will, unlike the administration of the U.S.
