I find it interesting reading on here about different groups of people and how vastly different my life is compared to someone my age, especially because of not having children.
so, what is going on with your friendship circle? Are they married, kids, similar people, from school / work / kids groups and do you notice a difference?
I am late twenties, married to DH with two dogs. My friendship group ranges from 28-32 y/o. No one in my friendship group has children. Everyone is a working professional - lawyers, accountants, teachers. I am the only married one. One is in a LTR. The rest are single and have had a few relationships, one was engaged, but that’s it. My friends are all from different places in my life, a few school, uni, first grad job. On paper, everyone looks like they have their shit together. Inside, we all have different mental health issues (OCD, ADHD, GAD, depression, anxiety). I think at one point, each of us has taken anti depressants. one friend had a brain tumour (she’s now fine!) and something I realise is that we are all size 6-10, I am the biggest at a size 10 (sometimes 8). Ethnically we are all very different and could create our own model UN. We are all British born, though. Most of us are from the south but a few are from up north (inc DH). Everyone now lives in or around London.
I have heard and do believe that people with mental health issues and neurodivergence attract each other, which really explains all my friends. I am the most stable friend on the outside, inside I would say I feel the least stable.
so how are your friendship group? Are you similar?
this is meant to be light hearted.
