Tim reflects on how as you age it becomes harder to tolerate new people, preferring old friends where the dynamic is already established.
- Tim describes meeting a new person with an exaggerated "white black guy energy" trying to be helpful with ketchup.
- The new acquaintance eventually turns out to be classy and done well, earning Tim's cautious approval.
- At 41, Tim finds most people tedious to be around and has to force himself to tolerate them despite not being antisocial.
- The connective tissue that binds you to people weakens as you get older, making it harder to stay close.
- With new people it's especially difficult, but with old friends you already know what you hate about each other and can move past it.
- Some friendships last a decade based purely on discussing specific interests like real estate markets in certain cities.
