    Anyone else have that one friend that you can talk for hours with?

    And when I say hours I mean HOURS, like started at 9pm and finished at 5am full 8 hours with a few breaks in for snacks and drinks.

    Not chatting whilst playing a game, like talking and sharing links and pictures back and forth on discord, debating, speculating, etc.

    You go on one tangent and then when you’ve exhausted that tangent, you backtrack and backtrack to continue the conversation until the next tangent, rinse and repeat until you realise you’ve been chatting the equivalent of a full work day and you both should probably get some sleep.

    Is it just me and him?

      I remember standing in the parking lot with one of my friends, ready to go into my car to go home. We start talking and suddenly it’s like 3 hours later, I’m not even joking.

      I also remember being able to speak to friends on the phone for multiple hours.

      Yes except for me “him” is now my partner and we’re getting married next year. I do have some friends with seemingly unlimited conversation topics too, but eventually I get socially exhausted and I need to finish the conversation and have a break.

      Occasionally I have that friend, yes, but I think most of them just endure my autistic unload, be it out of politeness, to unload theirs, or because they just don’t mind that much.

      In my current phase in life, it’s too much for everybody :-)
