28-year-old woman faces the late-twenties social circle collapse and gets welcomed to the club by friendless, functioning adults: ‘Use this time wisely, focus on self-growth and seek new connections’

Adulting. The world's longest, most unrewarding game of whack-a-mole. You were so busy mastering taxes, meal prep, and the art of pretending to understand your insurance policy, that you've missed life's latest curveball: the great friendship disappearing act.

And I'm glad to introduce you to the latest almost-30 newcomer, who just discovered the great adult friendship drought of their late twenties. Welcome to the club, sport. 

This story is every twenty-something's bleak eureka moment: Who was once a social animal, swimming in friends, is now seeing the vast and empty social desert, stretching out before her (except for a trusty partner who stuck around through the dryness).

Look, we've all been there. Those glory days of constant texts and weekend hangouts feel like ancient history now. The social circle shrinks faster than a low-quality t-shirt in a dryer.

But here's the thing, kiddo. like the comments on your story say–this isn't some personal failure or cosmic joke aimed specifically at you. It's just life doing its thing. People move, priorities shift, and suddenly everyone's too busy adulting to maintain friendships from their early twenties.
