Does everyone need friends?

Question

I keep telling my boyfriend that I feel sad and lonely because I feel like I have no friends because my friends don’t really ask to hang out and it’s hard to laugh with them now. But he keeps saying I need to be my own best friend and that I don’t need friends. But I feel like that’s not true.

Answer

I’m going on my junior year and have actually 0 friends. If it wasn’t for my bf I wouldn’t have had a lick of social interaction since college started

Answer

Some people really thrive off of social connections so I do not think it is a bad thing for you to want friends. I am involved with some groups at my college and they are all way more social than I am so even though I have friends that I could hang out with, I dont often want to because I need my own quiet time. Everyone has different levels of how social they need to function and be happy.

Answer

Making friends is weird and random and requires persistance. Just keep going to every social event and club you can until someone sticks 😂 to your boyfriends point, thats true for some and not for others. You know what you need, not him.

Answer

I feel the same way. But maybes it normal be distant from ur friends when ur in a relationship. My best advice to ask them to hang out like a movie or something. And do that with the same person or couple for a couple weeks so that u can rekindle ur friendship. And if u don’t want to do that with ur old friends, do it with acquaintances.

Answer

Humans are social beings. Of course.
