I’m an award-winning writer and editor living in New York City, where I currently work at BuzzFeed as the Senior Lifestyle Editor.

"I'm with you. I just turned 50, and I'm fortunate enough to have a close group of friends, but even if I only had one good friend, I'd feel the same way. I also started ending friendships in my late 20s when I was the only one making any effort to maintain the friendship."

"Even when there are seats, there's always that one guy who stands, then the people behind him stand, then you have to stand because you don't wanna be weird/not see anything. So in a perfect world, yes, I would agree. LOL."
