It could be that we live in a superficial culture. It could be that your friends don’t know how to relate in terms of depth. Or you’re not a match. Or it could very well be you.

Think about who would be at your wedding. Or funeral. It may not be the people you expect. It could be old friends of the family. Neighbors. Childhood friends. Your siblings’ best friends. All these inner circles within circles you don’t ever think about. Who has known you from the beginning? Who has shared traumas with you? Who do you see at your parent’s house occasionally? Those are your people.
