I guess it’s another way of asking, “What event in your life had to most effective impact?”

    I have about five friends I trust implicitly.

    I have hundreds of acquaintances I’m around for various reasons, and I like them, but I keep them all at arms length.

    I have everything I need.

      Same here, and for approximately the same reason (I left her because of the broken trust, she tried to get me back with a plan to fuck with me but I was already too fucked up over it).

      It wasn’t my final relationship, but I’ll die alone and pretty happy. I have a couple of people that I actually trust and, same as you, a butt load of acquaintances that I enjoy being around. I generally use “friend” as shorthand for those people, but they’ll never really know me.

      I’m very up front about relationships having a shelf life.

        Same.

        When I get lonely, Tinder’s a thing. We both go into it knowing it’s short-term, and it’s cool.
