The data from the May 2021 American Perspectives Survey indicates a decrease in the significance of friendships in American social life. Americans are reporting having fewer close friends, communicating with them less frequently, and seeking less support from them. Furthermore, the survey found that over 10% of Americans have no close friends and this trend […]

People Confess What Their Generation Experienced That Kids Today Will Never Understand
Nostalgia can be a powerful thing.
Have you looked at any of the movies to come out in the last year or so?
While nostalgia can be a fun trip to go on—letting you live in the past and feel like you did when you were younger, the lights were brighter and the sugar didn’t quite hurt your teeth as much—it can be damaging to the present. If your eyes are on the past, you’re not looking at the now.
That being said, there is a strange idea that what you went through in your youth might never be replicated now. After all, life goes on, and we’re never going back to dial-up internet service.
Thank goodness.
Reddit user, incrementaler, wanted to know what some kids might have missed out on when they asked:
“What is something your generation got to experience that no other generation will be able to experience?”
Never Forget
“Going up in the cockpit to meet the pilots. Thanks terrorist, ruined it for everyone.” ~ paksman
“You’re right. In flight it’s a no-go for the vast majority of airlines that all fall under certain TSA regulations.”
“However it’s no problem while boarding, unless we are busy with something. Just tell the flight attendants right when you step on that you’d like to say hello to the pilots, or that your kid would.”
“The flight attendant will check with us really quick then let you come say hello. Usually it’s children and they get pictures etc…, but I’ve also had the occasional nervous passenger or curious individual.” ~ duprass
Pics, Or It Didn’t Happen
“If something bad happened to you, there was no video of it.” ~RoriksteadResident
“We would have absolutely ended up in jail had there been smartphones & social media when I was in high school.” ~ Jealous-Network-8852
“When good moments would become memories, instead of desperate attempts to whip out your phone and document every moment” ~ Guava_
What Are You Up To?
“Walking over to a friend’s house because of boredom and knocking on the door. Them coming to the door to see who is knocking and discovering it’s a friend who dropped by unannounced and being happy.” ~ LurkJerk55
Let’s Go To The Mall, Everybody!
“Malls being the town hub. They were always really crowded.” ~ Ohsoeasy
“I remember going up to the mall to ‘hang out’ in high school. Friday nights the mall was packed with teenagers walking around, hanging at the food court, smoking ciggs out the main entrance, skateboarders out back.”
“Today’s kids buy everything online. Totally different world.” ~ PrincessPeach1229
Pay To Win
“Video games that required cheat codes rather than credit cards to unlock features.” ~ Leesider1
“I remember when my mom figured out from a magazine we got at the library that you could cheat code Bill Clinton into NBA Jam on SNES. How 90s is that?” ~ iStealyournewspapers
Is It Clear?
“Changing the channel on the TV and having to go outside and turn the antenna until my older sister yelled ‘OK!’.” ~ NagromTrebloc
No Winging It On Hangs
“Having to schedule things with your friends that either A, was well planned out in advance with very agreed upon meeting times, or B, waiting around the house to get a phone to call to set up the aforementioned plans.”
“Also knowing all of your friends and family phone numbers in your head so you could call from pay phones” ~ febreeze_it_away
But Not Streaming. Imagine That.
“Not that big of a deal but I got to go home from school knowing there would be new episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark, Ahhh Real Monsters, Rockos Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, Cow and Chicken, TMNT, Mighty Max, Street Sharks, Kenan and Kel, All That, Angry Beavers…” ~ SimpinOnGinandJuice
Seriously. This Was A Thing.
“Porn mags hidden in the forest” ~ blindsniperx
“We were on a weekend Scouting trip and were hiking uphill on a paved road. We were fortunate that the Scoutmaster was up ahead and out of sight because I spotted something over the hill behind a tree.”
“We went down to check it out and discovered porn and pints of Iron City beer. Some of us ended up having an especially fun time that weekend. I suppose that we violated several tenants of The Scout Law.” ~ NagromTrebloc
To See It Evolve From Both Sides
“Being a kid and a teenager without social media.” ~ paksman
“I’ll add too growing up along with the internet evolving. When I was a kid there was no social media and basically no internet.”
“Around my late middle school/early high school years AOL became a thing. So we experienced the anonymous internet.”
“Everything was through user names. You connected with people on themed message boards.”
“Then came the personal but still a little anonymous part. Programs that let you connect with people you know but still in a semi private way. Things like ICQ, AIM, Xanga, LiveJournal, etc…”
“About halfway through high school came the first modern social media: MySpace. Learned a lot about connecting with people, music, etc…”
“It was opening the door to internet that was connected to your actual person. And all the top 8 drama that went with it.”
“When I went to college my first semester I couldn’t get on Facebook because my college had not registered with them yet. Spring semester they had.”
“It was a great way to connect with others in my college and stay in touch with friends at other schools.”
“Then we got to watch it all grow and become more sinister and become the influencer culture with instagram and tiktok. Also all the data collection and lack of privacy that seems unimaginable when I think of the early days of anonymity.”
“It seriously feels like I grew up along with the internet and got to go through all its phases too.”
“It’s been a unique perspective being on both sides of the internet revolution.” ~ dont_blink_angels
The old days might have been fun, but they’re gone.
Don’t forget to love and live in the present.
You might find it’s just as good as things used to be.
I’ll Be There For These ‘Friends’ Facts
No one told you life was gonna be this way *clap, clap, clap.*
But now we can tell you all the things you didn’t know about one of the biggest sitcoms of all time.
Things you have to know about your favorite Friends.
Fascinating facts about 'Friends.'

What’s in a name?
Before settling on Friends as the title of the show, Insomnia Cafe, Six of One, and Friends Like Us were also considered.
The iconic fountain
Sitcom super fans who try to visit the show’s locations will be disappointed to discover that the iconic Friends opening credits were actually filmed on a Warner Brothers Studio soundstage in California.
No such fountain exists in New York City.
Speaking of the fountain
Jennifer Aniston thought it and the whole opening were weird.
The cast didn’t like the theme song either, but “I’ll Be There For You” by The Rembrandts went on to become a Top 20 hit in 1995.
Then, there were six
Friends turned the six stars into household names.
So it’s crazy to consider that originally there were only supposed to be four main cast members!
At first, Chandler and Phoebe were going to be supporting characters.
And who would Monica have married if not Chandler?
Co-creator Marta Kauffman revealed Monica was meant to pair with Joey!
They had a lot of plans for Joey
The cast was very upset when Joey and Rachel became a couple.
Matt LeBlanc described the cast as “super defensive” since they all felt she belonged with Ross.
What could have been
Simpsons veteran Hank Azaria auditioned twice for the role of Joey.
Actresses Jane Lynch and Kathy Griffin were both considered for the role of Phoebe.
And actor and director Jon Favreau auditioned to play Chandler.
Meanwhile, David Schwimmer didn’t audition for Ross. He auditioned for a different show a year prior but the showrunners liked him so much, they skipped formalities and offered him the role outright.
Whoops!
Did you notice this minor set change?
Monica’s apartment number was 5 and changed to 20 in the middle of season one.
Chandler and Joey’s apartment also changed from number 4 to 19.
The writers didn’t realize how New York City apartments are numbered and that apartments 4 and 5 would most likely be on the first or second floor.
The end is tough
Wrapping up Friends really affected the cast members.
LeBlanc was so stressed that after 4 nicotine free years he started smoking cigarettes again.
The finale
For the season finale Central Perk was torn down and the set was built back as the airport that Rachel almost took off from.
Friends IRL
16 years after the show’s 2004 finale, the cast still keeps in touch
Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow even maintain a group chat together!
Social media icons
In 2019, Aniston joined Instagram, posting a selfie with the whole cast. The popularity of the post temporarily crashed Aniston’s profile on the photo-sharing site.
The post has earned 16.6 million likes.
The one with the reunion
Earlier this year we learned several lesser-known facts from the HBO Max FRIENDS reunion.
Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer crushed on each other on and off-screen. That explains their character’s chemistry.
But, David Schwimmer did have some issues with one of his costars, the adorable monkey known as Marcel.
In “The One Where No One is Ready” Joey and Chandler are fought over a chair. In one scene Matt LeBlanc was supposed to jump on the chair while Matthew Perry was out of the room. On the last take, LeBlanc tripped and dislocated his shoulder. That is why Joey had an arm sling for a few episodes.
Chandler and Monica were not supposed to be endgame, but the audience loved the pair so much, writers reconsidered the storyline.
The one we would pay to see
While creators and cast members have denied a Friends reboot, Aniston did suggest to InStyle that she, Cox, and Kudrow reprise their roles for a Golden Girls-like spin-off.
Who wouldn’t want to see that!
The founders of Samsung and LG…
The founders of Samsung and LG, Lee and Koo, were close friends since elementary school. In 1968, Lee met Koo and told him that Samsung was planning to enter electronics, which meant becoming LG’s direct competitor. Angered, Koo yelled at him and left. Afterwards, the two were never close again.

A Person Told Their Friend to Leave and Never Come Back. Were They Wrong?
Get out and don’t come back!
Nobody ever wants to hear that, right?
But that’s what this person felt they had to do to a friend who was not respecting their boundaries.
Check out this story from Reddit.
AITA for telling my friend to leave over my weird obsession and to never come back again?
“I’ve been thinking about posting this for a while but I’ve held off.
Around 2 weeks ago, I invited a few friends over to my house to chill and hang out. Now, in my friend group, a lot of them think that I’m weird because I collect things; but for me, it’s an investment. I have a specific room where I have tons of old video games, dolls, baseball/football cards, and antiques, that easily total over 100k; and since prices keep rising, I keep collecting things I know will be valuable later on.
I have this really cherished antique that I, in all my trading, both buying and selling, have never even considered anything to do with it; an incredibly old Springfield 1861 musket, bayonet included. It was passed down from generations ago, and I still have it.
One of my friends asked me what “valuable junk” I have, and I decided to turn up my ego and told him that I had a genuine 1861 Springfield rifle. None of them believed me, so I told them that I would go up, take a picture, and bring it back down.
The guy who asked said that wasn’t enough, and that it could’ve been faked, and then thought it was his personal right to practically run to my room without my permission.
We all practically chased after him to stop him, and right as he entered the room he tripped over a bunch of baseball cards and smashed 3 pots that totalled around 6 grand. I told him to leave immediately and that I didn’t want to talk to him again, and that I was going to press charges. I still hold it against my friend for getting into the place when I told him no.
A lot of other friends are saying that I was way too harsh with it, that it was an accident. I then told them that it was his fault for entering when I specifically told him not to, and that those items were worth a lot to me, sentimentally as well, since I’d had them for over 10 years. They’ve been telling me I need to stop the legal action.
AITA?”
Okay, now it’s time to check out what the good folks of Reddit had to say about this.
A person said that this person was not wrong to act the way they did and that this guy caused some major damage.

This reader said that the guy needs to prove how much this stuff was worth before demanding that kind of money.

And this individual argued that the man was totally at fault and that if he doesn’t pay up, the writer of the post should pursue legal action.

Is This Man Wrong For Holding a Grudge Against the Friend Who Outed Him as Poly? People Responded.
Some folks hold grudges and some don’t even waste their time.
But I think it’s safe to say that this guy DEFINITELY against a friend who betrayed his trust.
And he took to Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole?” page to ask the fine folks there if he’s wrong for doing so.
Here’s what happened…
AITA for holding a grudge against the friend who outed me as poly, even though he thought he was doing good?
“I’m polyamorous.
My wife, Lisa, has a boyfriend (Jeff) and I have a girlfriend (Natalie). The four of us hang out together, we’re all consenting but I don’t advertise that I’m anything other than traditional monogamous with my and Lisa’s friends.
Enter Kevin, a not-so-close friend of Lisa’s who happened to see me out with Natalie ~2 years ago. He assumed that I was cheating on my wife (fair) and tried to right that “wrong”. If he’d just gone to Lisa and said it to her, she’d have clarified the misunderstanding, no harm done.
Instead, he talked in private with several of my friends to “gather evidence” on me. Every time, he told our friends that I’m a cheater, low life, monster, etc – one friend was approached on Facebook messenger and screencapped Kevin’s conversation. Kevin said, I quote: “Help me take down that f__ing b**tard”.
Then Kevin finally heard from Lisa that she approved of my relationship with Natalie, and I was forced to come out as poly publicly to shush the rumors I’m a dirtbag cheater. So, thanks Kevin.
I’ve been clear: If Kevin is invited anywhere, I’m not going. I still hate the guy’s guts. I’ve been the butt of every joke and called a cuck a hundred times since everyone knows that my wife has a bf.
Kevin demonstrated genuine hatred for me, I refuse to ever consider him a friend again, even though Lisa insists that Kevin “thought he was doing the right thing.” I refuse to give the dude another chance.
AITA?”
Now let’s see how people on Reddit reacted to this story.
This person said that the man’s friend Kevin might have a thing for his wife and that’s why he spoke up about this.

Another reader said that the whole matter really could have been handled pretty easily.
Why all the drama…?
Photo Credit: Reddit
This individual said that Kevin definitely DID NOT think he was doing the right thing and he went straight to the rumor mill.

Lastly, this Reddit user said that while Kevin definitely blew this situation up, everyone is to blame here.
And they said that the guy who wrote the post dug his own pit and he needs to accept responsibility for his actions.

Do you think this person had a right to hold a grudge?
Or are they overreacting?

This Person Wonders if They’re a Jerk for Asking Their Friend to Pay for Their Dog’s Surgery
If you happen to have pets, then you already know that vet bills can be astronomical.
And this situation involving a dog from a person on Reddit seems like it might just end a friendship.
Let’s see what went down…
WIBTA for asking my friend to pay for my dogs surgery after she almost k**led him?
“One of my good friends came to my apartment to go out together one night, let’s call her Lauren. I also have a 20 week old puppy.
Lauren is notoriously messy when visiting. She will go through her clothes, my clothes and just about everything to find an outfit to go out. However, now that I have my puppy I reminded Lauren when she first came in the apartment to please keep everything off of the ground and out of reach of my puppy.
I told her that he will chew/eat anything left on the ground, so for anything she cared about & for my puppies safety, to keep it up high.
Lauren continued to have her clothes and miscellaneous items from her bag sprawled out everywhere. So instead of reminding her after the 2nd or 3rd time, I just started putting her items in another room and closing the door for her to pick up later.
While getting ready Lauren decided to take a shower and she brought her own shaving razor. When she mentioned shaving, I told her to be careful because my puppy had tried to get ahold of my razor before, so be careful.
Long story short, I crate my dog and we go out. I come back and he is having bloody diarrhea and squealing. At 4 AM, I rush to the emergency vet. They tell me he’s probably constipated and to monitor him. I questioned this but didn’t know what he could’ve ate yet, so I take him home and watch him closely.
After coming home and making sure he is okay. I do a quick sweep of my house and try (emphasis on try, there were crop tops, socks, etc. flung all around my room) to find all the items she had left around my apartment. Lauren picks up her stuff and leaves.
The next day when I am taking a shower I notice she left her razor on the ground by my shower. It looked a bit off so I sent her a picture and asked if a part was missing. She says the bikini shaver of it is missing and seems unconcerned. I tell Lauren I think my puppy may have ate it.
So I go to my local vet to have another checkup and they take X-rays. The vet tells me he indeed ate the razor and that he needs to go to another vet over an hour away for emergency surgery, or he would not make it through the night. Of course, I rush there and they do the surgery.
Later I text Lauren that he is having surgery because he swallowed her bikini razor. Lauren tells me she is sorry for leaving it out and didn’t ever mean for this to happen.
We are good friends, I would like to still be. My question is would I be the a**hole it I asked her to cover part of the costs from his surgery?
My puppy is obviously a bit at fault here for eating it, I’m at fault for not searching my apartment well enough after she made a mess, but I believe she is at fault for leaving a razor out where he could get to it after being reminded SEVERAL times.
I’m not intending on asking her to cover full cost, but would I be the a**hole for asking for anything?”
And here’s how people on Reddit reacted.
This person doesn’t think the writer of the post is in the wrong at all for asking her friend to help pay the bills for the dog.
Photo Credit: Reddit
Another reader couldn’t believe that the friend didn’t offer to pay the whole amount!
I think I agree!
Photo Credit: Reddit
This Reddit user said the person’s friend is obviously not a responsible individual.
At all.

And this reader went so far as to say that they might’ve dodged a bullet with this “friend.”

Lastly, this individual made it quite clear and simple: this is not how real friends treat each other.

Signs of a Truly Good Friendship
I don’t know if this is actually a well-known song or if I just grew up in a very specific circle, but there’s kind of a cheeseball tune by a guy named Michael W. Smith that goes:
“And friends are friends forever
If the Lord’s the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
‘Cause the welcome will not end”
From here we can surmise that a true friend is endlessly welcoming and also religious, apparently. But let’s see if we can broaden that a bit, with the help of Reddit.
What are some of the "green flags" of a true freindship? from AskReddit
Here are some solid green flags, regardless of your feelings for the Lord.
1. Pick back up
Even if you haven’t seen each other in a while you’re able to pick up right where you both left off.
– radpandaparty
2. Non-compete
When they don’t try to compete with you, aren’t jealous of you, truly are happy for you when good things happen to you don’t give you back handed compliments and don’t put you down.
When they don’t talk bad about you behind your back.
Good friends listen to you, care about you and are there by your side through good and bad times.
– Fitbarbie1
3. “Get a divorce”
When my dad got divorced, he found a lot of his friends were really just my mom’s friends.
He had exactly ONE friend who helped him pack up and move. His joke after this was if you win the lottery, you’ll find out real quick how big your family apparently is. But if you wanna find out how many friends you have, get a divorce.
The lesson here is that a true friend will stand by you even in a really dark place where they have absolutely nothing to benefit from standing by your side, and even in some cases, something to lose.
– wehosh
4. Stepping up and stepping in
I got the news that my grandma was dying this past Tuesday.
Unfortunately I had work at 4 and class before hand so I planned on going to see her the next day. But my sister was insistent that she wasn’t going to make.
Texting my group chat I asked my other shift leads (only can switch with a SL due to me being a SL) to ask if anyone could cover. No one answered. I left for work early. At the shop, I was beyond frustrated at my friends that I started ranting to my old co worker ( and now my absolute best friend) who quit a few weeks ago.
He jokingly said he could cover if my boss let him. Literally a few mins later my boss walks in, and in tears I explained to him my situation and agreed to let my friend cover my shift for me. My friend agreed and he came in to the shop literally 20 mins later.
I was able to see my grandma and say my goodbyes that night. My grandma passed away an hour after I left. The realest of them all.
– nutttymeag
5. Hot gos
When nothing you ever told them, ends up as gossip.
– MorgainofAvalon
6. Laughter
Being able to make each other laugh.
Really, truly, help-I-can’t-breathe laughter.
I didn’t realize how rare it was until it was too late.
– hamanar
7. Listening skills
When they listen to your problems and give you intelligent solutions, or remember something you once told them that was important to you.
– NotAnNSASpySatellite
8. The list
For me, there are usually a lot of those little green flags, but a few stand out.
1) You can tell that the person is genuinely concerned or truly sad when something terrible and/or heartbreaking happens to you.
2) They become angry on your behalf whenever someone hurts you, disrespects you, screws you over, etc., and they go into protective mode for you.
3) They’ll remind you of all the great things about yourself during those dark times when you can’t see such things so clearly.
4) They remember details about things you’ve discussed with them.
5) They let that song that you love play until the end – even if it’s a song they don’t really dig.
– SquirrellyRabbit
9. Pitching in
I’ve always noticed that with new acquaintances that turned out later to become good friends of mine there’s a big focus on respect, consideration, and reciprocity from the get go.
Obviously it’s cool to take turns buying lunch for each other but I’ve also hosted new friends that would clean up for me before they left while my old friends leave beer cans everywhere.
That new person expressed through their actions “I respect you offering your home, that’s why I considered to return you at least a small favor of cleaning up my mess just because I appreciate the relationship we have”.
– Layton115
10. No expectations
Doing things for you without any expectation of reciprocation.
– RedditRam24
11. Checking in
When they will stop doing stuff they like or want to do in order to see if you’re okay or need anything.
– CSPStuff
12. How far will you go?
Loyalty with a breaking point.
Obviously all friends should be loyal, but I think the best things one of my best friends ever did for me was threaten to end our friendship.
I liked a girl who was toxic, but I kept going back to her. My friend and I were on the phone one night and I told her I was talking to this girl again and she just got real quiet and she said “I know how bad she has hurt you before because you tell me. And I tell you every time she’s not worth it, but you keep going back. I can’t keep seeing you get your heart broken when it’s your choice because then I pick up the pieces and you do it again. If you do this, eventually we’re going to wake up one day and we won’t be friends.”
Talk about the strongest kick of realization I ever had. My friend had known me so much longer than this girl. And she had never done anything to screw me over like this girl had. I told the toxic girl that night and told her I didn’t want to be friends anymore.
So, loyalty, but with a breaking point.
– expletiveinyourmilk
13. Feeling comfortable
When you’re with them and you don’t have to second guess anything or feel self-conscious. When you can just say what you want to say without rehearsing it first.
(Of course, this differs depending on your level of social anxiety, but I find that in general you should feel more at ease around true friends).
– iniestas
14. Secrets
You can tell them your deepest darkest Secrets the things that you’re ashamed of and embarrassed about and know there will be no judgement
– kcpstil
15. REAL secrets
They tell you about the bodies even when they haven’t asked for your help burying them.
– AsboZapruder
That reminds me, I need to tell my buddy Mike about some bodies.

People Talk About the Biggest Friendship “Green Flags”
There aren’t many things in this life better than having a truly good friend at your side.
But how can you tell when it’s the real thing? Maybe Reddit can help.
What are some of the "green flags" of a true freindship? from AskReddit
Here are some sure-fire signs to look out for.
1. Text first
They text you first when they don’t want anything.
– SilasDeane76
2. Protection
My friend once told me ” I Won’t let anyone hurt you man, even yourself” while helping me get off drugs.
That always rang out as a true friend thing to say to someone.
– Generalkrunk
3. No judgement
When they don’t judge you for things you can’t control. In high school, I had a sleepover, we all slept in the same bed, like normal.
I’d recently started some new medication. Turns out, a side effect was bedwetting.
They never told anyone. They never judged me. They helped me change the sheets. I’m still friends with those girls.
– SheketBevakaSTFU
4. Nothing and everything
When you can talk about nothing and talk about deep things.
Lots of friends only have one or the other.
– kraftykitten
5. Confidence
When you don’t have to talk 24/7 to know that you’re there for each other no matter what.
And when you do see/talk to each other again, it’s like no time has passed at all – you just have more stories to tell.
– ridiculoys
6. Hang time
“wanna hang out” then you don’t hang out and neither of you mind and then you hang out next week
– JAdamsidk123
7. The reverse
They’ll make fun of you to your face and defend you behind your back.
– Duluthian378181
8. The night life
When its 3am, you KNOW its 3am, NEITHER OF YOU ARE HIGH, and yet you’ve both been chortling at something that was said at 10:30…
– RedditGremlin13
9. Always welcome
When they can walk into your house unannounced and be welcomed in like a blood brother who’s come back after being away for the weekend
– jorph
10. Pick me up
You’ve both picked each other up or dropped each other at the airport at some ungodly hour and still enjoyed the drive.
– findingthescore
11. Silence is golden
Not needing to talk all the time or hang out regularly to justify having a solid friendship.
– themarajade1
12. It’s all convenient
They don’t mind being “inconvenienced” by you (in other words they don’t mind helping you/ being there for you)
– Jazz_Xyz
13. Feeling seen
When you can recognize someone’s mood without them telling you that they are upset.
– Oreo-and-Fly
14. Just to vent
I think the best thing I’ve heard from one of the few friends I’ve had is when I was having a real sh*t day and they asked if I wanted advice, just to vent, or needed a distraction.
The intention that day had been to help paint some walls in her house. She was perfectly fine with me hanging out and chatting, curled up in a blanket on the couch, while she painted her own walls and then we ordered takeout.
The sh*t was bad, but the day wound up pretty good.
– ElectronicFerret
15. Hmm…
One of my friends understands pretty much exactly what me going “hmm” at different lengths and pitches means.
– Trans-Trash-0310
If you’ve got yourself a friend that fits any of those descriptions, hang on to ’em.
