“My difficulty in forming close friendships stems from my desire for authenticity and shared character traits, true friendship should be built on honesty and authenticity, which I find lacking in many interactions.”

“My inner circle consists of my family, a trusted friend residing outside Kenya, Bakhita, and my partner, Samidoh.”

“I value hardworking individuals as potential friends.”

“A genuine friend should share common experiences and have a deep understanding of my background.This connection allows for vulnerability and meaningful conversations.”

“My dad, my step-mum, my friend who doesn’t live in Kenya, and my man are my friends. I have never found a genuine friend who has my character traits. Someone true to themselves like me. People are different and they have different interests. A lot of women want to talk to me just to benefit. I am very introverted.”

“A friend needs to have something similar. We go through similar things and people who know me from way back and understand me. A person I can be vulnerable to. They should be hardworking.”

“Well, I mean ni kweli. There is something like that, but unajua saa zile kuna feelings, saa zile kuna watu wanapendana, clash hapa na pale, na ku overreact, na nini hazijosangi.”
