Yeah I dont like when people imply I don't have friends or enough of them. I know I can have a discussion with anyone if I feel like it or if people come to me.

Yeah I dont like when people imply I don't have friends or enough of them. I know I can have a discussion with anyone if I feel like it or if people come to me. I just answer "the world is my friend". My father is also like this. I'm leaning on the introvert side but as an adult I've quickly adapted. A therapist also told me friendships are a lot of work to maintain, and often a cause of pain. If romantic relationships are already a source of pain, I cannot let friendships do the same to me.
