I Want To Be Special To Someone

I believe that ship has sailed. By this point, most people my age have their friendship circle locked, if you're not at least on the verge of being part of it, it's not going to happen. So I believe I'll never be special, or even close.

Really, no. Your friendship circle is only locked if that's what you decide. Outside American middle-classes, people make friends at all ages, and circles form and dissolve: if you want, if you make the effort. I think friendships form easily and quickly at Uni because lots of people are thrown together in a new atmosphere to them all; but that doesnt mean thats the only way.

Hell, I didn't meet my wife til I was 33, and we've been married 25 years now.

@firefall: It's what society has decided.

@electropura: Really hasn't been my experience at all, I've had a number of different friendship circles - some of which, I still have connections to individuals from. You are just accepting a conventional imposition, you don't have to do that.

@firefall: It has for me. I've never had friends. And at 28, circles are decreasing, opportunities too. I guess you've been luckier and I envy that.
