The notion that you are supposed to have friends and socialise was so embedded in my mind by the environment it sent me to a crazy depression. I find that most people don't have anything interesting to say nor that they lead particularly exciting lives it made me really suffer. Thankfully there is internet where I have the most interesting people within a few clicks reach. It took a therapy for me to learn that you don't need to have friends nor socialise. It was liberating.

It makes you feel pretty inadequate to be missing one or both. But at some point in my life I realised I just don't care what others think. I do have someone to have sex with, and if I absolutely had to use a term I despise, "best friend", she would probably be it, but ultimately the only constant in my life is me. Everyone else is on their own path. Our paths may cross. They may even align at times. But our paths are our own.
