Right. It seems a bit odd that our goal in friendships is often to find someone who will “just sit and chill.” If you want any diversity in your friendships, they’ll likely need to be made “shoulder to shoulder,” ie when working toward a common cause.
- throwawayboise 4y agoAgreed, and it also seems to me that most adults, at least the ones leading something like meaningful lives, don't have a lot of time to "just sit and chill." When my kids were young I rarely did, there was always something going on. Now that they are older and out of the house, I have more time for myself but I'm using that time, not just sitting around (mostly not, anyway).
- moonshinefe 4y agoI didn't say _sit_ and chill, I just said chill and don't want politics to be the cornerstone of the friendship or something that comes up often. Partisan politics is extremely prominent here and I have no end of places to discuss them if I wanted. I don't think it's outrageous to want a hobby other than discussing politics being the main thing I connect to people on.
