So I work at the Texas Roadhouse with someone that I didn't think at first I would get along with. Turns out over the last few months they have become a very good friend of mine. So I had been thinking about this for a bit, and I realized something, a lot of the people I work with over time have become close personal friends of mine.
It wasn't because I generally don't like a lot of people, it's from my childhood. When I was growing up, I could count the amount of friends I had on one hand, I can even remember there names, there houses, what we did to pass the time in the summer. Stupid little things like arguments we had over what you thought was very important at the time, but when you look back you're like why the hell did we stop talking for that month.
Back at the Ranch, I tried counting them today, I ran out of fingers... Maybe its because I am growing up, maybe not. A 2007 article in Medical News Today links the risk of developing Alzheimer’s in old age to social isolation—feeling disconnected from a social environment and close relationships and a general feeling of abandonment. I guess that is some food for thought. I personally don't want to get Alzheimer's becuase I didnt have enough friends.
