Being proactive is important. It's also important to figure out where longer lasting relationships will realistically form for you. Is it a meetup event, the workplace, a maker space...is it some place much different? What do you value most out of a friendship? These are some of things I think about.

Rly like the genuine take of this piece.

Been thinking ab this too in the context of specifically knowledge workers - *why do we drift as we discover ourselves and become different*?

For knowledge workers, I wonder if a part of it is society pushing us to explore spaces and places where there are, frankly, fewer people who can relate. I see this happening more in your 30's. Similar to researchers who spend their time at the edge of the collective knowledge sphere - there are just few people that can occupy that mental headspace. My closest relationships atm are founders, co-founders, and creatives, bc we occupy similar headspaces.
