Friends require care and attention. At my age, I have more friends than I can look after with the care and attention they deserve. An embarrassment of riches. Most of my sins are sins of omission, after all.
In my day-to-day social world, one of the greatest problems is friends who want me to be friends with all of their friends. There isn't enough of me to go around. (And, occasionally, I need to call the kids.)
In short, I'm not looking for more friends or trying to reconnect with people from past lives, however fine they might be. Downsizer mode is about trying to simplify and be selective. Removing extraneous stuff. Paying attention to what matters. Doing less, but getting more out of it, and on. I don't want baggage, including electronic baggage.
Don't call me cranky; call me selective.
