It's not even that they have just one friend. They keep making fucking more of them. AND they keep feeling the need to introduce me to them. I don't want any more friends. Some people say: "The More the Merrier" but I say: "The Less the Merrier." No, we don't need to go to brunch with three people. Can't we just go with the two of us?
I have a really good friend who goes on new friend binges. She meets someone and basically falls in love with them and spends all her time with them and raves about how great they are. I have to listen to all this until she gets sick of them and then I get her back again. But in the meantime, I have to hang out with this new friend too and it's annoying. So, so annoying.
Maybe I'm a jealous person. Maybe I'm fussy about who I spend time with. But, I have been on the other end of this situation. I have seen the sidelong glance of my new friend's old friend and felt the unease about her having to spend time with me when I know she doesn't want to. I know other people feel the same as me. It's just that we can't be honest because then it would offend all the friends of our friends that we don't like. And that just won't do.
So, the moral of the story is that I'm a bitch and I want my friends to have less friends so that I don't have to hang out with them. The End.
