Little "dear diary" post, because this is something I dont wanna touch on with anybody IRL.
Yesterday an old friend of mine turned 30. We hadn't been in touch for several years, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to send him my wishes or not. I also no longer have his phone number, nor am I on social media, so I decided to Google his name, since he has a pretty unique one.
I found him on Threads, of all the places, simping over each and every girl crossing his screen. There are literally hundreds of comments telling randos around the world how beautiful they are, how good that dress fits them, how they dont look their age, etc. He appears to have no real bonds on the sites, just these thirst "connections".
It disheartened me, to the point where I decided not to get back in touch with him, and I'm almost relieved that our friendship fizzled out over the years. I understand loneliness, I've been through it myself. But this is just pathetic.
