[Pull Up the Roots]

You're almost as old as me.

I've never been the social type, so this has always been my default. You can't beat the peace that comes with it.

 

[P90]

Im drifting toward that over the past several years. Many of those points are valid, but really with age you see whom you share a mutual love and respect for - it hits a steady state but usually is only 5-7 people if you’re lucky. For me my entire social circle comes from the Masons outside 1 or 2 people.

So yeah I am becoming more of a hermit I guess.

 

[Vandelay]

My circle has gotten smaller. Oddly as I've gotten older, I can talk to more types of people, I just realize the new connections I make will never be as strong as the old and just take it for what it's worth.

I was just at a bar with this old mofo that owned the place. He wouldn’t stop talking to us and offering us free shyt like thanks nikka but ain’t you about to close up?

be careful breh, you don’t wanna miss out on connections. At least that lil mutual friend pocket usually be hitting. I’m not saying be all out the way but still

 

[The ADD]

I’m 48 but my core group of friends has been the same for a long time. My social circle has grown more with meeting my wife and being folded into her social circle.

I never really had friends or family that caused strife so no need to avoid them.

They cut themselves off from everyone else because deep down they know they’re the toxic one.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I’m just a hermit and people take a lot of energy and have A LOT of issues that you always got to navigate.

If my friends were closer we would always be around each other but I’m not a phone nikka and not a long distance nikka.. which is another reason I’m single… the only reason really.

If fam was closer I would be stressed tf out but everyone else wouldn’t be

But I wouldn’t avoid them.

[ItsPeople]

That was the title of the video. I am not 48.

I am an introvert but I like being around people, too - book & running club, camping groups, etc... I was watching videos on solo camping and that video popped up in my feed.
