I think it’s so easy to see the mistakes of others and not my own. I can easily give advice to others but it’s hard to take my own advice sometimes. I think I have made most of the social mistakes your friend makes. Especially the one about assuming friendships are closer than they are. I have pulled way back from that. What I noticed is that I have a lot of acquaintances but not really any friends. I’m working on accepting that. It’s very hard to build and maintain relationships. Friendships are especially hard I think.
