    hopefully, pretending to be straight or asexual; and being able to be happy without friends, as these will be needed survival skills

      We’re better together. Don’t try to survive on your own, having friends you can trust is crucial for survival

        that’s unfortunate, as I don’t really have any close friends I’d say I trust or could count on for more than thoughts and prayers. oh well.

        sometimes that’s just how it is.

          I understand. Making (and keeping) friends, especially as an adult, is hard. What I meant was that you shouldn’t isolate yourself
