Welcome to getting old with your friends. I still hang out with my life long high school friends. None of them are anything like me and that is good. Sometimes it can get boring because I cant talk tech but whatever, there are plenty of other things to talk about.

It also helps to make new friends. I met a bunch of people through an open source project which is fantastic. Those people I get to talk tech with. Though I have also lost the zeal for going out.

I feel that a transient lifestyle makes meaningful social interaction less common which can leave people starving for deeper social connections. Maybe that contributed and you need to a social boost?

After covid I felt less inclined to go out and that has effected me deeply as I am socially starved but feel like I have little social energy or inclination to go out. I also stopped drinking for health reasons so I don't go to bars or clubs anymore. I just fuck around with hobby stuff and hang out once in a while with old friends when the chance rolls around.
