Hi Raaw,

Even if you were close to them, you moved and went to a graduate program here. Several of them are married. Soon they will have children. So you would never be that close. It’s interesting, though, after a decade or so, when everyone has lost touch with everyone else, if there is a reunion, they will be THRILLED to see you and remember you warmly. That’s just the way it is. So don’t worry about it.

Seek other introverted friends. OR seek out a talker who needs an introvert who will listen to them. Some of us just aren’t wired to have tons of friends. Just start with a few. I tell my daughter if you make one friend a year as an adult, you are doing great!

Best,

Inky
