I went out with my sister and her friend tonight and the two of them were clearly different people.
When we went separate ways with the friend, I turned to my sister and said,
"You and _____ are so different, how did you become friends?"
She said,
"We have similar morals and we vibe (which I think means connect emotionally and get along well)."
That was the point where I realised I haven't emotionally connected with someone like that in YEARS. Everything has felt so surface level. The last time I felt like that about someone was probably high school (which I'd say wasn't that long ago, being a non-mature aged uni student now).
It's been a very long time since I've felt like someone gets me and I get them, like we're on the same wavelength. It's a sad reality that the people I see the most are not THE people that I "vibe" with. No wonder why I feel so freaking sad all the time - that's definitely a reason.
so many big hugs from someone else who's a little weird
you're not alone
Oh shit. Covid has really pixelated the shit out of us all huh? Someone mentioned something about adhd making us bad at reading friendships as well.
can I add, when you do find someone you vibe with, treasure them because such a relationship is rare
I feel this on a deep visceral level. I'd give almost anything to have a friend like that.
I had friends like that in the US, I miss them so much it hurts
