I don't like the phase 'make friends'.

To me, friends 'happen'. Never deliberate choice nor ever a goal let alone something to aspire to.

I do not want a relationship based and agreed on some performative crap -- that will invite future disappointments.

I don't see it as a one sided job planned and intended by a single party; it's a two way thing, sort of like an invitation; you either send and wait for the person to accept or decline -- or you get to accept or decline if you received any.


And I'm "lucky" enough to receive enough 'invites'.
:o And whether I accept or not depends on my mood.

Also I do not 'send' an invitation to any friendship -- that will be very rare, because I rarely like a person enough in the first few meetings.

I'm aware there are those who are too "shy" to do so -- but I'm not obligated to save them from their loneliness... Or from themselves.
