I feel terrible that I experience relief that my friend is FA

Most of my friends are chad-like who have had multiple relationships and one night stands. They're settling down now with GF, so I've been the 5th or 7th wheel a lot.

One of my friends however is probably more FA than I am, in that he has a lot of trouble in social interactions than I do.

I shamefully feel relief that I'll have this friend to hang out with in the foreseeable future, but at the same time I constantly tell myself the best thing that happens is that I'm the last FA standing.

Anyone experienced similar?

nope. I had a lot of nerdy friends who basically married the first girl who showed an interest. There are still a couple who have never had a GF. I personally hope they escape from FA as much as I would.

Misery loves company is a saying for a reason.

I don't know other FAs, so I can't relate. I don't think you're particularly evil for what you feel, it is in the realm of common human nature. I hope that you and your friend can eventually connect with other people and escape FA.

I had a few "FA" (if you can call it that for people who are barely 18) friends back in school and I hope to god they're all doing better than me. Especially because I'm pretty sure I dragged them down (I was the most mentally fucked person in that group, and people wouldn't want to associate with anyone who hung around me). So it's not just sympathy but also guilt.

I avoid chad like folks because the relatibility factor is not there, if you cant relate you cant take things further
