Was rather much of a social butterfly in younger years....loved being around/with people and socializing. I don't seem to need that anymore. ???? Do you think that is a function of age - or the slow realization that most of what passes as "friendship" has more to do with what everyone else needs from you? No depression or anything like that - just quite content to garden, cook, read, indulge in decorating projects inside and out. Am I missing something?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.As I aged, found myself more selfish with my time.....Interest in family, projects, and lagging interest in things like sports weeded out all but very closest friends.....plus just many things, I don't have the energy.

I feel the same. I crave solitude. Unfortunately, I care for 2 grandsons and my mother who has Alzheimer’s disease. I don’t miss the expectations of friends.

I think everyone's life moves in different waves. When I was younger, I was so anxious and reclusive that it was hard for me to even talk to anyone. As I've gotten older, I've become more confident and outgoing. I think the one common denominator, though, is that I won't put up with superficial relationships, or as you mentioned, someone who just wants to be your friend because they need something from you.
