I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you do form a connection with someone who does wanna check in.

I'm old and my friends live all over the country. I send them 2-3 messages a year. Good friends imo.

I think cultural norms try to frame friendship as this magical connection. But really it's a super nice person you met one time and now send Christmas cards and say hi to.
