Venting It's hard to form any meaningful bonds with anyone

[Bad-luck]

I can't seem to have any meaningful bonds or talk to anyone meaningful. I do have a lots of "friends" but none I am able to talk that has any value in coversation. I don't really have any close friends or best friends. It kinda sucks to be honest.

I feel you. Most people think us who even consider ctb are 'too much' smh. Like why do they think we even consider it?

Same here. Everyone is selfish af nowadays. Did you understand what may be the reason?

Yes, people are scared of making meaningful connections with others these days.
My belief is that meaningful connections come with commitment, and that is what most people are avoiding, as making commitments to others is deemed unhealthy at the drop of a hat, the pop psychology gurus are too busy preaching the self-care sermons that are prevalent.
I would like to see the pendulum swing the other way personally.
But there is truth to it- commitments are also entanglements, and more difficult to break than to make.

We never truly know ourselves or people around us anyway imo.

We get along sometimes more than not based on different things but it all feels like exchange to fill something in ourselves. And I dont mean just 'positive' exchanges, 'negative' ones serve similar purpose.

Not to mention that everything ends at one point.

It is difficult to bond with most people for sure. However new people come into your life when you dont expect it.

I think it is just the type of guy I am. I'm not a bad person per say but my personality don't really match with most folks. So I can't really form a bond beyond just being a friend.

My personality is also fairly off-putting to most. It's all about finding like-minded folks to hang out with. Being a musician is my portal into being social, otherwise I'd be a hermit for sure.
