Are friend really important in life or it's just a myth ?

[No Hook]

A lot of people join sites like this because they don't have friends in real life and/or are socially awkward.

I have a lot of associates but only 3 true friends that I have history with that I can call and talk about anything to. It's better to talk to them instead of coming on here and seeking advice or validation from someone you don't know on the internet. I don't knock it though

So yes true friends are important to have in your life.

Used to think like this but nah you need people. Even if a hand full.

Get friends that have their shyt together .

I wouldn't say friends are completely pointless

But a lot of us hold on to toxic ones just because we "go back"

Also just because a person is a good fit as a friend in 2010 don't mean they will be in 2018

What's a myth is family unity

This times a fukking billion.

Nobody really has true friends , you're lucky enough to have 1 true friend in your lifetime

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

yes they’re very important. it goes without saying almost. to hell with all those “you don’t have true friends” and “get friends that got their shyt together”. you should befriend as many people as possible.

Get friends that have their shyt together .

I can definitely relate to both of these. I have friends that are making over six figures and living comfortably, and friends that are struggling to barely get by. Still enjoy hanging with both sides even though there's a difference with both lifestyles.

Speaking about the family part, those friends of mine have welcomed me into their family like if I was a part of it. Even their parents think of me as a part of their family and I think of them as family. Now compare that to my own family. I have my parents and brother but that's practically it. My grandmother passed away today and I took my mom to the hospital since my dad was heading there. My uncle was there and I haven't seen him since my grandfather died like 5 and a half years ago. So imagine that. You're own family isn't considered as important to you as your friends. That may not be true in all situations tho. But having close friends who love and support you can help anyone when they're going thru stuff. I think about the friends having their shyt together part and while that helps, sometimes all you need is a friend to listen and care.

Being by yourself all the time has negative effects on the brain. Spending time with and around people is needed if you want to function correctly


Why do you think solitary confinement is a punishment in PRISON?

 

[Disclosure]

I believe it depends on your personality type. If you are charismatic and extroverted, friends are essential. But even among friends there is a hierarchy especially if you are a man. There are two types of people wolves and sheep. If you were not born with a charismatic or dominant personality, are introverted, not really athletic or are sensitive you are probably better off alone unless you are ok with getting tried or being the butt of jokes in front of women all the time or being used by other people in exchange for "friends"

If you know you lost the genetic lottery personality wise and/or physically you need to be honest with yourself and start really thinking if you are better off with friends or without.

Meaningful friendships are important. Humans aren't meant to be isolated. I'm an introvert myself and I enjoy having some alone time. However, if I cut myself off from all of my friends and family for a long time, my mental health might be fukked up.

Some people need less social interaction but having good relationships, friends and romantic, enhances your life

 

[Clay Puppington]

Friends aren't important, they're necessary. Finding good ones, however is a bit more of a challenge.

 

[Take It In Blood]

Friends and family are ultimately more important than anything when it's all said n done
