When I was younger I used to think that not having enough friends was pretty much the most embarrassing thing in the world and meant that you were an irredeemable loser.

These days I feel like half the time I have a long conversation with someone we end up talking about how we both wish we had more friends. (And I’m not even the one to bring it up most of the time.)

So like

  1. feeling like the number and quality of your friendships is in part due to circumstance and luck and is in part due to skills you can improve on, rather than feeling like it’s a measure of your inherent worth as a person, is great
  2. the fact that so many post-college young adults have few friends seems like … a problem idk
