Well. I'll be 42 in December. And I haven't changed a bit.
I moved around a lot as a kid (probably 30 or so different residences and 15 different schools, some of the same schools multiple times) so, I was always the new kid, as such I got really good at either fighting or making friends, I preferred to make friends, didn't alway work out that way. The down side of being able to make new friends quickly is that I got really good at letting those friends go. So I pour my life into my family to try to create stability for my 4 sons and my lovely wife. Which means I have little time for true friends. I have 2 that I would do almost anything for, because they would have to be willing to do the same. Quite a few friends that are the kind that want to hang out and have fun and I can even count on to help me move but that's as far as it goes and that's how it should be. I do not think it is possible to have a lot of great friends while you have the responsibility of raising a family. One of them has to be priority.
Anyway I do know people in general are just getting lazy, covetous, spiteful and pusillanimous and it's unfortunate. I tend to dwell on the world my sons will live in and the fight they will have to go through but that's all part of my own psychosis.
