This is exactly how I feel about my neighbors. I wave when I drive by their house. I stop and say hello, if I see them, or they see me walking with the kids, or getting the mail. But, I don't have any interest in trying to build friendships. I have plenty of friends from high school, or even farther back, and it's hard enough to maintain these relationships as we get older, have kids, move away, etc.. I don't have time for new ones.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

The problem is almost everyone is some kind of an asshole. We just put up with our friends because we have dealt with the asshole behavior for so long that we dont notice it or we grow to like it. I dont want to have to deal with a whole new set of weirdness from new people. I have a close knit group of friends and an array of secondary characters. That's more than enough for me.

A lot of times people just move on. When you have friends from school, after graduation life takes you in different directions. Friends from the neighborhood might move away. Sometimes things just end, w/ nothing said.
