Same
OP your issue is you’re judging new people based on how much they resemble people you’ve been friends with for around a decade. I’ve made that mistake too.
You can’t expect someone to be perfect and the exact friend you want or exactly like another friend. Go in with lower expectations and just focus on having fun. You build friendships from bottom up. And everyone is a bit guarded at first.
And don’t listen to the miserable people on here. I’ve made a lot of my best friends after college by simply being open to new experiences.
Apologies for the incoherent post.
Same...it gets worse...your.life is full of single serving friends
Stay connected to those friends as best you can. The older you get the more surface level the friends you make.
You don’t have to be the same person in high school to have the same friends. I’m worlds different too, but my childhood friends I’ve had since elementary school are still my best friends.
M1 I was never that cynical until now. Even the great guys I meet from work have some sort of competitive edge to them and I can’t be me ever except with my SO and my friends. It’s pretty awful, these guys are like my family and I just can’t believe I’ll ever find the same.
Get used to living alone ...
Agree with Accenture 1
I’m not the same person I was in high school, why would I have the same friends?
