I really loved this article Katharine! I loved when you talked about how friends aren’t something you can collect. I also loved when you talked about how important it is to see how they are doing and discussion of deep things like politics and religion is important. It’s very easy as an introvert to see people with lots of friends and get jealous and try to make a lot of acquaintances to combat this. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to let friendships come and go naturally, I believe that if we are meant to be friends, we will, and there is nothing wrong if we aren’t.
