So true. I don't have that either. It's so hard to get both in the same place. My last bunch of friends came from 12-step support groups, and while we could certainly share deeply about problems and therapy-type issues, at one point I noticed that none of those friends shared my sense of humor. Not one.Prior to that, many of my friends were people from my profession, and while we had a lot of laughs, I never felt comfortable admitting my psychiatric issues, or even the fact that I was in therapy. That was very limiting.
The last real-life friend I could really talk with AND really laugh with was years ago, and sadly he doesn't want to be friends anymore.
It's lousy not having those special friends.
