I have childhood friends. I have romantic partners. I have adult friendships are based around convenience. My social life is the web of friendships surrounding my childhood friends and my romantic partners plus the current convenience friends.
Writing that out I realize I might not have deep friendships with people I've met as an adult because I don't extend my social circle to include more of their friends. I'm just a dangling friendship in their lives not part of their larger network of friends.
I wonder what that's about.
