I have contacts, not friends

Diagnosis

You outgrew convenience friends and never built the kind that can tell you the truth. Friendship is reps, not likes. If nobody could call you at 11 p.m., you do not have a network. You have an audience.

Protocol · 0 / 3

1. 1Pick one person you would actually miss. Send a specific ask for time this week — not 'we should hang.'
2. 2Offer something useful, not a vibe. Help, a meal, a walk, a hard question.
3. 3Tell one true thing about your week. Depth is how acquaintances become friends.

The standard: One real conversation this week with a human who can tell you no.

Fired = did it · Misfire = didn't

“One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”

Proverbs 18:24
