I've been unusually talkative recently, and I don't really know why, maybe because I'm in the midst of applying for colleges right now. Anyway, I've recently been dealing with a problem, and I just really, really want to rant right now.
I feel like no one really prepared me for the fact that literally everyone around me will get into a relationship. I really, really don't want to be in a relationship (starting to think I'm asexual), but I just feel like my best friends are slowly drifting away because they all found a guy to talk to. My friendships just aren't as intimate or real anymore, and I feel like whenever my friends send me a screenshot of a text from the guy they're interested in and have a situationship going on, I'm just a third wheel and will always be second to some guy that they literally just started talking to, even if that wasn't the intention.
Yesterday, my friend sent me a paragraph of text asking me for advice on whether she should send it to acquaintance A (we usually do this if we aren't sure what to do). The text was really, really formal and honestly lacked all social awareness, and I was really surprised she typed that out. Turns out, she asked the guy she was talking to for advice, and he churned out that bland paragraph that, honestly, if I received such a message, I would be extremely insulted. Somehow she supported it??
I guess that's just the reality with growing up. It's no wonder people are getting lonelier these days.
