Everyone is in his own life circle. Because of different fields of work and different places of life, their feelings gradually fade away, so they feel that they have fewer friends. When they grow up, they no longer have the simplest friend relationship as a child, nor do they feel like making friends as a child. The older they get, the harder it is for them to make friends.
Everyone is for their own interests, and even has a competitive relationship, so it is difficult to have considerate friends. When I was a child, anyone could be friends, because we didn't care whether he was a cat or a dog. When we were teenagers, we made friends and began to look at the five senses, and our circle of friends narrowed; When we grow up, we have made friends from the five senses to the three views, and few people have met them.
When I was a child, your circle was so big and there were many intersections. We are all good friends. The more I grow up, the more I find that I don't live in the same circle. Now that your intersection is getting less and less, and your circle is getting bigger and bigger, you will naturally become more and more alienated. Even if we meet, we will exchange a few pleasantries.
Now I don't think I will make the kind of friends you expected before, only the interests are related. No friends after work. Therefore, the so-called friends in a person's life are probably the friends he made in high school. At that time, there was no interest dispute, and everyone basically grew up. The friends he made also conform to his three views, not as naive as he was when he was a child. Moreover, the older you grow up, the more competition for interests in front of you, and the fewer intimate friends you have.
