Ok so serious question, you listen until they're finished and you nod and "mhm" and "I hear you" and eye contact and all that good shit, and then they finish speaking. Then what. Do I just say "yup, that sucks" so as not to make it about me or https://twitter.com/fxckingVALID/status/1291031641369051136

I already knew the things I want out of friendship are misaligned with what people are seeking to 'normalize' and I'm not always easy to relate to hence why I have like 3 very close friends and everyone else feels like a variation of acquaintance by "normal" standards but yeah

Thanks everyone for the tips this is really helpful in learning how to give people what they want bc it's almost never what I want, so it's hard for me I think
