    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.

      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.
