I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

ADHD affects how I experience time, not how I experience attachment. I love you. I miss you. I just don't realize how long it’s been since I last said that, let alone messaged.

I understand that most normal functioning brains need regular engagement to maintain a bond. Absence doesn’t diminish my affection. My silence isn’t neglect or disinterest. It’s time blindness and object impermanence. The contact gap is purely neurological, not emotional. Thank you for being patient with my inconsistency and holding a seat in your heart for me.

I need to stop replying to “how do you make friends in your 30s?” threads because all my answers boil down to “you have to want to know people instead of have friends” and I don’t think people wanna hear that

[eroscestlavie]

It’s like. People can tell if you don’t really like or connect with them. If you aren’t truly enamored with someone you will have a hard time coming up with activities to do together to deepen the friendship. Because you don’t really like that person that much.

As someone turning 41 this year who is still trying to find new people to add to my life, I wanna say that I agree with this, and elaborate a bit on my reading of the post.

Once people are in their 30's and up, like, we're adults now. It doesn't matter what your hobbies or fun time interests are, mine are video games and card games etc, stuff that some people see as exclusively for kids, but that doesn't prevent me, and my peers who I would be going through to find new friends, from being full ass adults.

We have jobs (or equivalent), we pay bills, we probably take care of our family or immediate partners/pets to various degrees. We hafta make doctors appointments, we hafta clean up the home because its the right thing to do not just cuz someone yelled at us. My point being; we're all busy as fuck. With like... life.

If you want someone else to spend some of the likely small amount of free time they have on you and being friends, then it can't be a facebook friendship. You hafta commit. And I'll just say it like it is; you gotta love em. You can only really add people meaningfully to your life at this point by loving them for real. I'm not gonna go too far off about how our society devalues platonic love but its absolutely part of why people struggle to socialize as "easily" as adults vs when they were teens et al.

The original posted ended on "Because you don't really like that person that much.", and while that sounds roughly worded, like I could see people on this website acting like they're being accused of duplicity or some such. What it means is you can't just have a playground enjoyment level of relationship with someone. You gotta LOVE em. I make it clear as hell to people who are becoming my friends that if you are my friend that means I love you and I will occasionally make sure to say it out loud even. And the newest friends I've fully added to my life lately have totally reciprocated that once they were sure that the relationship, the FRIENDship, was legit. We all put it in the effort. And that effort pays dividends.

I'm still looking to add people to my life if I can help it, but I've absolutely found the real struggle isn't actually finding people, it's figuring out how to let a stranger know that what you're looking for is the long haul situation, and not just some seattle freeze.

I dunno if that'll help anyone, but its def a topic thats been on my mind lately so I had the urge to throw my two cents in on it.
