Don't take it personally. They were never your friends.

"Friends" are overrated, superficial and not worth my time.

When you quit working you’re out of the club, and into a different club.

You nailed it. I retired in 2008 at 50yo. No college degree, no student loan debt & very few bills. Jealousy & envy will make the folks around you scatter with a quickness. Glad I came across your video, because my wife & I have discussions (and some GOOD laughs) about this very topic quite often. My wife loves to say, "oh well, they'll get over it"! 🤣😂

This is the way I felt at 59. I’m 62 now and I’m ok being by myself because the ones I use to hang out with are still doing the stuff we did when we were 22. So I move on .

To quote a commenter on another page: learn to call people colleagues, classmates or neighbors. Not everyone is a friend. A friend is a powerful word, use it wisely.
