10 hours in a car with someone who expounds on fish and trees might just make me crazy!!!

Are real friendships possible here? True, real friendships?

I've asked myself this question for a long time. I've been incredibly disappointed in friendships these past few years. You're there for people when they need you, but when you need something yourself, nobody's there anymore.

But I still believe that true friendship is possible. Even long-distance.

One day, you'll find that special someone who will make you believe that real friendship is possible. (I'm saying this loud and clear because I want to believe it for myself too.) I'm sending you all my best wishes, hoping that life brings that person into your life

 

[Doctor_Nobody]

Like here here, on Lit? I think they are??

I think real friendships can exist here when there’s honesty, consistency, and respect for boundaries. In my experience, they're born from showing up steadily and treating each other like real humans - not just usernames. It takes discernment, patience, and a willingness to let things unfold instead of forcing connection.

They’re possible. Just not automatic.

Rose colored glasses today? Maybe...
But I have made two of my most true and real friends here - they show up for me when nobody else does

I completely agree with you. We just need to find that trustworthy person

Are real friendships possible here? True, real friendships?

I’ve been extremely lucky in the friendships I’ve made over nearly 15 yrs here. My best friend ever, Kara1234, I met here.

 

[Saythewords]

I have a lot of cleanup and organization to do. I want to get rid of things.

I hope that will happen to me too
It's certainly a dream come true.

I think so, yes. Not easy to find those people, but possible.

Absolutely! It's a search and with patience.... But it does happen!

 

[SpicyBean99]

So so unbelievably glad I trusted my gut instead of being made to believe feel I’m a crazy, obsessed psychopath.

SO glad

 

[Catepillar_glacier]

Well I am looking into FDM (Fusion Deposition Modeling), where you essentially ooze layers of filament to build up a design…..

It worked!

 

[hiletshavefun]

Snow showers tonight and freezing drizzle tomorrow night. Going to be a fun week for walking the dog

Nasty drizzle and fat snow! My doggie was quick to do biz…also in Maine.

 

[jonnoback]

I'm so glad those workshops are over

 

[ShaneoD]

This could be a fun couple of days

Yeah, it’s pure ice this morning

 

[Apisto42]

Listen, if you’re in the way, I will. And in the median. And the fucking turn lane…

Did you ever live in Puerto Rico? You’d fit right in.

Nope. But maybe I should….

The percentage of male and female friendships that have failed for me is almost completely inverse.

It's rare for me to give up on girlfriends. I have to be in a very bad place mentally to do so.

Male friends (on here at least) tend to fade relatively quickly. Their energy typically goes to what they prioritize: sexual gratification, chasing someone shiny and new, etc.

Sad, but true!
Although I still have male friends that I chat with who are content with the occasional flirt and friendship.

That's why my friendships with women last (when they're not playing games with me or lying to me). I feel better understood, and I also feel like I understand them better.

And a friendship isn't built on sex. It's certain that if your male "friends" are only there for that, they'll get bored. Sex, whether spoken or visual, can be a kind of "gift" (if you want), but it shouldn't be the foundation of a friendship. Otherwise, it's doomed.

I promise to always have cheese on hand. I’ll even share it. No strings. Unless it’s string cheese.
