I have a group of dad-friends who I like seeing individually, however the 'group hangs' we have put together are no fun for me at all. By hour two we are one-upping each other with wacky stories etc. and I'm eyeing the door.
It may be that we lack strong collective ties but basically all of my good friendships are sort of isolated from each other.
- SoftTalker 3y agoThat has always been me. As an adult I have always had just one or two close friends at any point in time. Never really part of a larger group of more casual friends. And I agree, in those situations it seems like most people are just bullshitting to say something. I rarely come away feeling like it was time well spent, or that I got to really know anything about anyone. Much easier and more rewarding to spend time with one person at a time.
- rolisz 3y agoOh yes. I'm the same! When I am in a larger group, I have a hard time opening up and having meaningful discussions, whereas on one on one settings it's easier.
