Thought: I’m watching Sex Eduction on Netflix; Otis asks his mom Jean, “Do you think I’m a casual-relationships kind of guy?” Her response is “I think you’re the sort of person who wants meaningful connection.” They are taking about romantic relationships but it applies to friendship. I associate casual with meaningless. I don’t have casual friendships with anyone very well; I don’t do acquaintances. Either they are meaningful connections or fade to nothing. I love hard and hurt hard too. The rest of Jean’s answer to Otis is “But I also think it’s good for you to try different types of relationships.”
