Yep. People are annoying.

I haven't had a friend in a long time.

Probably.

That would be a very lonely existence and I wouldn't be happy about it

Solitude is not a good thing

That would be lonely.

What defines a friend? This is something I've been struggling with. I guess everyone defines it differently. I'm wary of being exploited even under the guise of frienship. Someone expecting u to be always there for them as a crutch and not respecting boundaries or autonomy etc. I don't want that kind of friendship.

no, i think id be miserable. i believe having friends is one the most essential things to be happy
