I feel like this is just an exercise in creating stasis in your life.

Friends will arrive; friends will disappear.

Your mom isn't changing any time soon.

Stasis is ok with some things. Use this to encourage existing friendships/ relationships you feel worth preserving. Do other things to meet new people and make new friends.

Personally, I think that meeting people has gotten a lot harder during COVID. For support networks, stasis is a good thing.
