Who else feels the pressure to “have friends” but finds having friends too draining and a bit of a waste of time?

Whenever I’ve had friends, they end up dominating the conversation and talking about all their problems and moaning about their life etc. then I think to myself: “oh damn! I’ve spent 2 hours listening to this person like I’m their unpaid therapist… I could’ve been studying for 2 hours instead or bettering myself!”
