❓ PLP Inquires II ❓

I don't know if long thoughtful convos are Lit's thing anymore but... let's try again.

Adult Friendships

How do you even? Do you make friends easily or does just the right person need to come along? Are they lifelong connections or do they burn bright brief? What are some hints that someone you meet is friendship material for you? Are you a good friend to have? Have you ever had to end a friendship?

I'm reminded of the closing scene of "Stand By Me," where Richard Dreyfus writes, "I never had friends later on like I did when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?" And that hits the nail on the head. Adult friendships are so much harder to come by, so much more work to maintain, and so much more easily broken. At least in my experience. I have a fair number of acquaintances - people I'm comfortable being around, having a beer with, that sort of thing, but with the exception of my wife, no one I'd say is a close friend. Maybe there are some adults that make friends easily? I'm not one of them. I'd like to think I'm a good friend to have, but I don't know how true that actually is. I'm out of practice.

I would say almost every friend I have approached two or three separate times before I actually spoke back to them,I just don't warm up too quickly but I do pretty well after I'm comfortable around them.I don't mind solitude,actually I prefer it most of the time but I like company/chat now and then.But if you ever get in my circle you are gold for life lol.

And I think G.Washington said "No company is better than bad company" so yeah.

Ok fun random question. I think set designer is one of the great unspoken arts so ... What TV kitchen is the most iconic to you? This can be a show that you grew up with or one with a memorable scene that took place there.

For me, there are threw which stand out for the use of the space and the scenes that took place.

The classic I Love Lucy kitchen

The Golden Girls (has to be the best used for hilarity)

And for my childhood nostalgia ... we've gotta go with Full House

 

[Deleted member 6607120]

Fun question!

Friends

And, The Simpsons

 

[RosewoodTulip]

Fresh Prince kitchen is pretty iconic

 

[LadyLascivious1]

There are more, but the first that came to mind was the Home Alone kitchen for the holiday and late 80s nostalgia factors.

Lot of great answers already said. A couple others that come to mind are just shows where the kitchen is a center of the action.
The Honeymooners


Who's the Boss?

I still think this was one of the best shows ever on tv.
The kitchen was also the family room, dining room, entertainment room and living room.
It was sparse in everything but life lessons and love.

What's one thing you wish you could change about the way people perceive you?

Hmm that’s a good question.

Mostly I don’t care as I feel well liked and know I am a very decent human being.

But recently somebody important to me has interpreted things I’ve said in the least generous way.

I’d be much happier if they recognised the good intentions.

Interesting as I don't really know how they perceive me, but the general idea i get is that people think i am happy and friendly.. whereas I am a mass of nerves who is scared shitless in social situations, so jabbers away like an idiot as the other option is to hide in the corner. My boss thinks I am chatty and jolly... because it's not good to not talk and ignore people at work.

Maybe i should just shut up, then people would see the pathetically shy loner. Then again, i might get sacked.

 

[beachbaby179]

People actually think I'm confident and have my shit together.
LOLOLOLOLOL!

I really have no idea how I am perceived here, so

I wish that I wasn't such a hot exhibitionist - and that people knew there was a brain and personality behind this extraordinarily hot exterior.

I think people are intimidated by me. Cos of me being so scary.

When I'm not. I'm lovely. And way more insecure than people maybe realise.

Grrrr. *scares you all*

[AngelicaS1780]

I think that my introversion is often interpreted as aloofness or disinterest, when it's just that I'm quieter and less outgoing. Having a moderate level of social anxiety and self doubt doesn't help the matter. I also think that people perceive me as generally "nice", but not as particularly interesting or funny or fun to be around. I wish I was more confident in showing those sides of myself and in more actively pursuing friendships.

It’s hard to be so sexy to so many people. Im not just a piece of meat everyone. I mean it’s pretty great meat, but there is more.
