Yes, but as you age you don't need as much socializing and you have established good friendships so you can jump right in.
But I do track everything for fun (like a diary). Last Sunday to Saturday i reached:At 7hrs 4min of excercise last week, 45.3 hrs sleep,, 1260 grams of protein, 7 pieces of nicotine gum, 28oz of whiskey (4oz/day), etc...
Highlights: Had a pr at the gym, squatted 410lbs. Baddthings: Had gym fail at ju jitsu, spit my mouth guard onto my bros face. Sorry C! Also argued w my sister over text
I've since made up w my sister. That is all
That's quite an assumption to make. Why would you need less socializing as you age? Relocating to another city might mean having to start over with your social group.
Well to bring up developmental theory...Young men in early adulthood often need far more social contact because that stage of life is about exploration, building identity, and expanding networks.
By midlife, most men have shifted into a stage of consolidation where priorities narrow, relationships deepen, and the need for frequent socializing drops.
Sure I could put in citations, but its Sunday and I'm relaxing....So here's a quote from Aristotle instead:
The aim of the wise is not to secure more friends, but to find enough good ones.
Think again! An opioid epidemic has hit your town, all your friends OD'd or moved to attempt getting clean, or the one who moved for school. The one that's left is moving 5hr away for a girl he met 6mo ago. You're also a male in an age bracket known for having a hard time making meaningful connections, superficial ones come and go like the tides.
What do I win, and can I return it for store credit?
A victim card and being ignored. You can be the victim or the victor, not both
Nice try, it's lonliness.
Have fun being a prick!
Nice squat brother!
I love you, let's run away together.
