I just finished my BS 4-months ago, I guess I thought things would be the same but with more time to spend, wrong. Between work and school I rarely had free to hangout, so when we did hangout we had a good time, usually too good. I was a part-time friend I guess. Now that I'm not so busy I can't seem to get anyone but my cat to hangout with me. I talk about things like finding a new career, buying property, getting out of debt, and starting a family, but the people who I though were my friends haven't done a thing but make babies since high school, or just remained content with their OK paying job and an one bedroom apartment . I sense that none of the people I knew were true friends, they just thought I was going to fail and that made them feel better about their lack of being proactive with their future. Now I have no one to talk too. I'm either too educated and accomplished for most of the people I knew, or I'm too risky and undisciplined for the educated and successful folks. There doesn't seem to be a social group for the educated workaholic pothead. It almost seems as if I'm resented for being self-sufficient. Almost like my friends feel bad and blame me for them not being given the same opportunities that education has provided. I'm aware of these insecurities and try to filter out things they don't like, but work and school are such a large part of my life now, I don't have much else to talk about, and all they seem to talk about is whatever drama situation they got going on with whoever, and how nothing in their life that's wrong seems to be their fault. I can't seem to make new friends that are equals as far as education and income is concerned, and I'm discovering that unless those things are equal between possible friends, either an insecurity or superiority complex will develop. This bothers me so bad, and to any of the people that may know me, I'm sorry for being big headed at times and I miss you, but I gotta live my life to the fullest, I just wish you would join me.
