>>THAT, is loneliness. To be among people yet incompatible with them.

My refutation. I believe that there's a common thread that unites most if not all people, be it music, food, sports, etc. Finding it is hard, but that is the key to attaining compatibility

Or you are just looking in the wrong places. The people closest to you by proximity might not be the people closest to you as a friend. I know I have met more people online whom are all over the word that are better friends than anyone I have met irl.

Indeed, but that's still a lonely experience.

That's subjective, those online friends can be enough for some lol it's not like they can't ever meet up

My 2 closest friends, who I’ve known for 15 years, 1 lives in a different state, and the other lives in another country. We’ll likely never meet, but I don’t think I’d trade them for anyone else.

Yeah that's my point regardless the option is possible if you guys really want to and have the time to lol it's not like there won't ever be a small window to take the chance its just up to the people involved

I also understand the need for a more physically close relationship so yeah but not everyone operates on that level so that's why I said it's enough for some

This. I don’t agree with some of my coworkers on broader issues, but we function by laughing about other things.
