Is making friends a MUST?

One can never have enough friends
15 years ago I had many friends but some of them have been married, gotten kids or have simply gone
Now I am all alone. At the beginning I was happy alone, with no sorrows, but now Î am here on this site and I am looking for friends

One can never have enough friends - can. T agree, it depends on the person, one friend can be enough for you, if it. S a good one🤷‍♀️ I mean In generel.

I maintain, you need friends, whatsoever

it depends what the word "friend" means for you.
I have friends that i see ones in a year or less.
But if there happened something very bad, we will drop everything and help the other.
And that's friends for me...

As long as you're happy and your mental health isn't suffering from it, you can do whatever works for you.
Personally, I would like a close friend but if you are genuinely happy without friends I don't think anybody has the right to tell you to make friends, and I find it scary how people here almost do that. The point of your life is that you enjoy it, and whether that is with or without others is only your concern.

A friend might make it better though and you should make sure whether you really simply don't want nor need friends or whether you feel like you shouldn't have any. Because if that was the case I believe you should figure out why you feel that way and maybe work on it if possible.

I feel having friends is important, but it depends on the person if you don't like being around people I guess it is not big deal but I think it is important,

I think if you get what you need from day to day interactions with the people around you who you don't consider friends then it isn't a "must". But as several people have pointed out we are a social species. There are definitely advantages to having at least a few close friends but I don't think it's something that everyone needs. Most people do but not everyone.

I do think that even if you don't intend on starting any friendships it's still good to exercise your friendly skills from time to time so that if you ever do find you need some friends you won't be afraid of not being able to be "friendly."

Of course!I'm happy when I'm at school cuz I have good friends to play with.
The top students in my class that have PERFECT grades and teachers like them very much
But they don't have ANY friends,I mean,I often talk to them but they don't give me a good response,then I was fustrated and stop trying to be their friend.
But their grades started dropping,and sometimes my grades are even better than theirs.
I think it's because of they have no friends.If a person don't have friends(especially no friends at school), I don't think they'll be happy.
So I think making friends is a MUST.

Well I agree, people can't live without friend. I think they just don't want answer your question, because they are toooo busy😂

🙂I would not say that it is not a must but a need,since it helps you keep your psychological balance and have a lot of advantages. But having no friend is not impossible and people who do that don’t always get fool🙃… Some people are able to put up with that loneliness (and even enjoy it) and some other are just not cut out for it, Loneliness isn’t very bearable in a long term. However having friends isn’t a must! Up to me.

Physiologists say that its not good for one’s health to have no friends, its part of mental health

Well......it depends.
If you just cant get along with people around you , then dont make friends with them.
We need friends but we dont need TOO MANY friends, u know what i mean?
it is not about quantity , but about quality

I agree with all above points. You should yourself while with your friend or friends. If you are acting to impress a friend, then you are not real friend. It’s better to be without friends if your so called friends expects something from you.

Whether with friends or without, the point is that you are happy.

👌🏽 Yuh, definitely right!!

We are social animals so we need friends and family around us.
"friends are the family you choose"

Friends are those who are there, when your world turns into Chaos and are still there to lough about with you, when ist over

You should always do what makes you happy! Me personally, i have many "friends" but I only have a couple "true friends". These are the ones I can call when I'm feeling sad or if i just want to talk, they will always be there.
But i have many people that i talk to across all of the age groups, it's really interesting to talk to and learn from Soo many different people.
