Half of your friends don’t like you – MIT

Updated 3 years ago

Three major points:
1. We are hardwired for a maximum of 150 social relationships:
– Average prehistoric tribe size limit: 150
– Average medieval English village size: 150
– Average modern wedding size: 141
2. Reciprocity has been devalued in recent decades due to the advent of social media.
3. The average person can cull half their friends and be happier.

You don’t get real friends and buying makes your world small. Friends you earn by being one yourself.
Friendship is an illusion. Friendship is a dream A package of scrap, with a thin layer of chrome
There is no such thing as long-lasting friendship only everlasting interests, once the interest evaporates the friends drift apart.
