I don’t have any friendships that have been significant to me. I appreciate my friends and the time I spent with them however, nothing significant has come out of it. Even the times I spent around various friends groups and friends wouldn’t be significant because it was always downtime between things. This lack of āsignificantā friendships may come from no long time friends and zero effort spent attempting to keep in touch.
Besides no keep in touch, I don’t have long time friends because whenever I changed schools, from elementary to middle, middle to high and even high to college, there have been a max 8 people I have known. For high school especially this was true as no one from my middle school came with me.
Though friends I haven’t known for a while could be significant, I struggle to think of any interaction that I could deem significant with friends I have known for a short time.
Even subconsciously, any time I interacted with a friend I didn’t believe that was a turning point in our relationship or an important day in my life.
I may be undervaluing everyday interactions between friends but if those didn’t happen, it would make or break my day, class or year. After some thought, though it may seem critical I can say with 100% certainty remembering every school year up to now that I never had a friendship that was notable, extraordinary or even impressive.
