Be me
>Talking to mom
>Tell her about my health anxiety
>She says "sounds like someone needs a girlfriend"
I told her it wouldn't really help but she thinks I should have "friends".
but those things do help
What she said doesn't help, that's true

In what way ?
Please elaborate originalio
>>35798657
in my experience, getting friends, real friends, helps you in pretty much every way
>gives you something to do
>more to talk about when not hanging out with friends
>helps to learn social cues
>makes you more approachable
>affords you an outlet for your feelings and opinions in a non-judgmental way
and really good friends will
>help you through situations you might need an outside perspective on
>want to improve you and help you with self-cultivation
>cheer you on directly or indirectly when you are on a good path or things go right
>cheer you up
>keep you from needing to be cheered up
>afford you an outlet for your interests where they are genuinely interested to learn about your likes and dislikes, and reasoning behind them
>Anon i think we should sell all your old toys
>it's not like you'll be having any kids to pass them down to anyway.
>w-well ma i dont think thats a very nice thing to say
