I'm building some really good new friends, but I don't get to see them often due to distance.

I am also kind of fearful of leaning on people too much.

Getting to see more people regularly has helped with the deep meaningful vs casual acquaintance thing. Right now it's a battle of attrition to have enough opportunities that some more significant opportunities can happen organically.

The harder I try to force it the less progress I make. It's very difficult to deal with even being able to observe it. A perverse target fixation.
