Do you get quality time with friends?

@Bloodsugarsexmagik Absolutely!! My gf has known me for over 20 years, wants what’s best for me and won’t hesitate to tell me if I’m being unreasonable. She’s free therapy & I can drink wine while we chat!

Its the best. these are the few who CAN say, you do look fat in those jeans or no honey its you not him, because they are family by choice not blood. The best laughs, ears and shoulders to be found in life :)

@Bloodsugarsexmagik Amen!

Hey, do you think social media has made it harder to make real life connections like that? Not stirring shit just curious as to your thoughts. Half the fun of those friendships is hanging out having coffee/tea/wine/whiskey and chatting a storm. Its harder to do that online.

@Bloodsugarsexmagik You know it’s hard for me to say. My friendships all began before social media and for us it’s easier for us to stay in touch because of it. A small group of us make plans together via an app. But we also will send each other messages if the kids are driving us nuts or work is a pain, so there are laughs and encouragement sprinkled in the day.
I think, for the younger crowd, it could be because my personal opionion is what’s happening on SM is kind of superficial. It has to be cultivated in real life, if not, it’s not going to stand th test of time.
Also, people who read too much into or worry too much about their SM identity. I had a friend who got divorced and I didn’t even know because everything was so happy on her FB page. I wasn’t paying attention to the fact the SO was fading from the pictures, I just saw lots of smiles. (She’s obviously not a close friend, by any means.)
