Is it wrong to want to choose my friends?

No, it is fine and good. You get to pick friends, that’s the point. Obviously this has some fluctuation, but they should overall be a positive value in your life.

How do you balance doing what makes you happy with maintaining friendships, especially if your happiness and your current friend group don’t line up?

Do what you like and make friends who do that too. Your friends should be people you have fun hanging out with. If the activity is a prerequisite then that’s that.

Any thoughts, advice, or personal experiences would be really helpful.

I do rock climbing, met several fun people at the gym, we climb together now. Good friends. Also took a dance class, meet a couple friends there. I do what I’m interested in and those interests being friends and connections. You can always fall back on the interests/hobbies for activities.

No reason to maintain a friendship simply because of the label/category of “friend” because that’s not really a meaningful relationship.

I’ve changed my mind, I’m ok with kink shaming in some cases

Windows is already occupying your hardware and network with “telemetry”. I would be surprised if telemetry overhead alone was all that was needed to burden modern hardware and yet when i boot into windows those fans never shut up.

Not sure where i decided the narrator is unreliable. They say their partner loves it. Two people happy in a relationship. An example of how one problem solved to meet the needs communicated by the other. The result being positive. That’s just reading what’s written. I don’t see where i made something up. I provided examples of types of people who may use a logic like this but didn’t prescribed it to op.

Not a dynamic for me but i wouldn’t gawk at someone for feeling fulfilled in it. I get the humor that it’s expected to be considered demeaning.

DDG performance has dropped for me. I use a mix of their app and Firefox loaded with a searxng.

Works like old Google, No ads, tends to reduce SEO sloop that DDG is susceptible to.

Unhealthy would be if you as the other in the relationship (the one seeking affection here) were not ok with this and tried to change it. It Doesn’t sound like the relationship with the dog is negotiable.

I wouldn’t be happy in that relationship because i need emotional mutuality/reflection, which is clearly muted here. But the two partners here are obviously fine with it.

I don’t mean to diagnose anyone but this is fairly common for both trauma survivors and neurodivergence. Animals are just going to always be safer than people for some folks, and those folk also deserve love.

It’s just healthy adaptation. They care for their partner so they found a way to meet their partner’s needs that isn’t overly burdensome.

I’d argue it’s any age from 18 to 50ish. But they’re 10yo’s at heart [maturity level]

It didn’t look like that already?

Miltech leaks belong in the War Thunder forums. Fake news

Well this and a shorter work day/week so one doesn’t have to chose between a social life, a healthy body, home upkeep, child care, and self care. Maybe sprinkle in some accessible and free healthcare both physical and mental. Idk, wouldn’t be the first time i was wrong about something.
