Freind is one who is fully aware of your belief system and either support or empathize with your everyday statements and you don't retreat back when your belief system is challeged by that person but rather you enjoy exploring what his opinions are and you are ready to change your beliefs.
Also that person might be someone whom you think is intellectually as good as you are. You don't share your opinion to random office colleague to enage in challenging your belief system. If you do you are not narcissist and have low self confidence. You must be narcissist with high self confidence to only befried those you deemed worthy.

i might be losing my last and longest friend
idk its unfortunate, hes becoming toxic, i think its motivated by his own insecurities, his criticisms of me are always knee jerk and kindof random, we havent seen one another in a while, and its disappointing, i see more him projecting upon me either his issues or issues of people around him
while simultaenously playing this zero sum attention game, like a fucking girl, and being narcissistically attached to some laughable radical political game. i think a lot of this is because hes around people who agree with him, and i dont
its unfortunate, this is like 5 years of friendship going down the tubes in a rather pathetic way. id always considered him smart, we're both super high iq, and its why we were friends to begin with. unfortunately hes choosing ideology over at intelligent conversation, and all i ever do is cope when i disagree, and i can feel the anger if i choose to actually engage him head on on any of this bullshit. he just wont hear it, really sad

It's very bad for you. I have to really try to participate in life, whereas for most people life comes to them whether they like it or not. I'm not depressed but being a total recluse has trade-offs.

>he needs friends
>he hasn't slowly lost all of his friends during his 20s
I'm a very social guy, I make friends wherever I go and had a huge group of close high school friends. Regardless, we all started growing in completely different directions after high school and drifted apart. Most of them we just slowly stopped talking, others, tensions grew and we had big blowout arguments that ended the friendship on the spot, and only 1 that still is cool with me, I still talk to. After that though I really don't feel the need for friends any more, I really enjoy the time I spend with myself and all else I simply have my girlfriend or banter with anons on here, or even my acquaintances at work or in class. I think friends serve a purpose to the developing mind, they act as a vital support group for teens until they become independent, and then they break off and seek mates, pushing friends aside. This is why people "get serious" about dating after high school and their partners become their life. I do still think humans have friendships when they grow up I just believe their importance drops like a rock, far below mate and kids. I still do have a couple friends, but we don't spend nearly as much time together as we used to (why would we? We're busy). I tried doing that with my best friend and it ended horribly. He turned into an incel, had different opinions on everything, slowly turned into resentment, and then he just fucking hated me. 10 years, gone just like that. And no, there's not much you can do to change where your friends are heading. I tried and it was pointless, I had to witness my easy going and based friend slowly turn into a loser right before my eyes. I just woke up one day and he was a completely different person, one that I did not like at all.

Besides family, 0. I had some when I was younger but the older I’ve gotten the more paranoid of people I’ve become. I don’t trust their intentions. I don’t trust anyone in my family either, but I can’t get rid of them. The only person I care about in this world is my 4 year old niece, only because I want children but can’t ever have them. Though, she is inherently a drama queen and frequent liar— much like my sister. Really just a horrid personality. No sense of curiosity, just a constant manipulation of others.

its unfortunate that, as time passes and we grow apart from our friends, that we cant use this distance as something to itself talk about / predicate the friendship on
people are so insecure, it gets in the way of everything. either youre like me or youre a reminder of a competing spiritual essence and you need to be forgotten
its like everyone, or groups of people, are all competing to turn those around them into things that are like themselves
its nauseating
its unfortunate because the alternative, an honest conversation about it, isnt something that anyone is really open to doing, long term, because there are, ostensibly, socio-emotional consequences to not going along with this mutual infecting
its narcissism, i think founded from economic insecurity, and in my case at least, was funneled into a political ideology agree with me or die ultimatum

tldr: smart people arent any less retarded than retards, theres an emotional quotient that is far more important when it comes to relationships

Same. There's times I do wish I had a group of friends to be social with. I had that in the recent past, but they always wanted to do something, and I turned down most of the invites. I'm cool with hanging out once a week or even once a month, but most people take that as an insult.
