I have many of the same friends I had in HS, but, sadly it's gotten where i really don't like doing things with them. When you are younger everything is new and fun so you're all just having a great time and can spend days around each other without anyone getting on your nerves. Now some of them get on my nerves before the would-be event even starts. They make things so complicated!
Them: What time?
Me: I don't care. Whenever
Them: How about 6:30?
Me: I don't care. Come by anytime, you can come by at 2 for all i care.
Them: Do we need to bring something? Are we eating?
Me: Nah, we'll grill something or whatever...maybe just order pizza
Them: If it's pizza I need blah blah blah
Me: -
Them: Who all is coming?
Me: don't know (sigh)
Them: i can call so and so blah blah blah
You get the picture

Another reason is just a lack of common things to talk about. I actually would like to get together sometimes, but we have different interests now. I could say that they have no interests. Let's talk about something interesting!
Also, i think people use to confide with their buddies more. Now, everyone is trying to make that Fakebook image a reality. Once we could bitch about our GF's but now ones that have horrible wives won't say a peep. They will tell me something that is going on that would piss me off. I can't believe they don't bitch about it. Nope, not these days. What kind of friendship is that? You should be able to relax and vent your frustrations.

I think everyone enjoys a little solitude.
I have more good friends now than I ever have in the past, somewhat I think due to just finally just being comfortable with myself. If you want to be friends great, if not that's cool too.
I also have no problem spending like a week by myself and not leaving my house.

I get the picture, you’re the a-hole, not your friends.
That’s just common decency when going to someone’s house.
Hey what time do you want people there? Do you need me to bring anything? Two completely logical and appropriate questions.
We always have people over at my house for functions. I really don’t like it when people come before we expect them to because if I have things to do before the function it kind of throws me off a bit because I feel like I have to entertain them if they’re over

This is the beauty of living alone. I get to visit my son, his wife, and their two daughters (or anyone else I want to see), but then I come home to peace, quiet, and doing what I want to do. I could easily be a hermit.
I hope Bentley is well, HC.

Because stupidity get harder and harder to laugh off while the body knows enough not to write checks it usually can’t cash except thru the barrel of a gun.

He's good, has ear ablation surgery next week, so fingers crossed all goes well. I'll make sure he gets extra treats from you while in recovery.

Thanks, HC. I hope all goes well with Bentley's surgery!

You are right the way I wrote it. I'll try to clarify. These aren't acquaintances, these are people way past formalities. They can show up anytime, any day. If you have a problem call...most of us are like:
Hey, wanna come over Saturday?
Sure.
(Then Saturday a call or text) On my way, need anything?
Nah, we'll figure it out.
cool
The ones i was trying to describe go on forever. And they keep coming up with new contingencies that need to be considered. Then they (obviously) start talking together and creating more drama. The question of food gets ridiculous. When they have something they tell us specific things to bring and other instructions. Which we do, but when we say, bring nothing and we'll take care of it all it seems to piss them off. Once one guy was dividing what everybody owed at a game down to the cents. I went up and paid for it all and he sulked. I just don't like being bothered with all that. Who cares?

Women cultivating relationships? Ok.
Men become less social for many reasons. All of which fall under the category of “I don’t have time.” Some people are lucky, in that they have maintained their childhood friends and/or made new ones. Most of us, however, have more responsibilities than time, our childhood friends have moved away (or we have), and we’re surrounded by people that aren’t worth the sacrifice that friendship requires.

59. maybe 1 or 2 friends total and I can only stand to be around them for more than a few hours.
I'd rather spend time with my dog.

Because after working we wish to be left alone.
Last thing I want some munching arse "friend" coming around.
