>tfw never had a childhood friend
It must be so nice to end up in a relationship with someone you've known since elementary.
To be her first everything. To share so many memories together. To know more about each other than most couples do.
Did you have a childhood friend, /r9k/?

I wish I did. It would have been the dream probably. I moved throughout my life so it was impossible.
I did but things got complicated between us.
>>36776879
I did, but eventually I moved away from her. Never saw her again.
>>36776879
I did but I changed schools and didn't ever see her again except when she showed for my father's funeral.

>mother's friend has two sons
>kinda have to hang out with them
>have nothing really in common besides love of certain games, including NBA Hang Time on Sega Mega Drive

>go to secondary school, get put in completely different classes
>have no mutual classes whatsoever
>barely see him again
>go to different universities in same city, start carpooling because fuck it
>we are now radically different people, car rides are mostly silent because we can't even agree on what cd to put on

>he randomly texts me out of nowhere to ask if I know how to get a Wii online
>next thing I hear about him, he's in a mental institution after his third suicide attempt ended with him biting a cop
>parents refuse to even acknowledge anything happened, start denying he even existed, don't know which institution he's even in
>move 3000 miles away, come home one Christmas
>find out he's out of the institution, living in a group home
>go to see him
>the group home is actually an old folks home and a good four-five hour journey from home
>he's the youngest one in there by at least 40 years
>he's now super-religious, which is fine if it helps him get through the day but very surprising
>family don't visit him, most people from when we were kids have forgotten he even exists
>he mostly just sits there, watching tv and praying
>back home now
>he's disappeared again, either nobody knows where he is, or they ain't telling
>found an old Mega Drive and Hangtime in a retro game shop
>it's set up and waiting for a rematch
I'm gonna kick his ass if we ever play again.

No I always butted into other people's friendships..
I did. I've known my gf since I was 10 even though we didn't go to the same school. We rarely met in person because mutual autism and mostly communicated through instant messaging. We've been each other's only friend for 15 years and nowadays we live under the same roof. We're alone together.

Sounds amazing
What's it like
>childhood friend develops crush on me
>decides to show it by bullying me
>bully her back harder
>at some point she gets emotionally BTFO and tattles
>end up narrowly avoiding a detention
>years later
>admits she liked me and wants to know if I liked her too
>tell her no, I just thought she was being a bit of a cunt
>asks if I want to date her now
>"no"
Childhood friendship is an over-rated experience.

It's comfy.
It's comforting having someone who I can relate to and who knows me so well. We're both diagnosed spergs. She's more functional than I am and is able to pass as almost normal, whereas my autism is very easy to notice. I can't help it.
She noticed my existence when I was having a meltdown due to sensory overload, so she knows me at my worst and most pathetic state and I don't have to put on a facade.
We slowly built intimacy through online conversations. We come from a background of heavy bullying and ostracism and have similar interests. I asked her to be my first friend and she accepted. It was easier socializing online so we didn't feel the need to meet in person frequently.
We've been living together for 2 years but I can't tell when we became a couple. We've known each other for so long that there's no surprises and almost no misunderstandings. We've never fought. She has always been the romantic initiator, though. I don't really understand romance.
And we're alone together because we protect each other's safe space. and don't even talk much. We support each other when we have to go outside and socialize with normal humans.
In the end, affection and company don't cure severe endogenous MDD with psychotic symptoms (which is still very painful and sometimes incapacitating) but her support makes it a bit more bearable.
