You are probably right about the congratulations part, I try not to think about them too much for the same reasons you pointed out - but I am a human, bias myself and feel good. I did not try to take my friends out with me, I completely understand their reasoning for staying, that's probably why I stayed for about 10 years - it does provide value with everybody being in the same place. But some of my closest friends kept asking me how to reach me beyond the email and phone number I gave them and I said I will be on Signal. Some installed it just for me, I don't expect them to stay too long so I created reminders in my calendar to reach out via whatever means so that I don't lose them (I tend to live abroad from time to time like now).
