      thought about it. I’m still unsure because I was trying to have a conversation and compare numbers, but no need to elaborate I dont want to offend you further

        Comparison of the amount of friends one has is not good. It does not speak to quality of the friendships and can cause further issues for people if they don’t “measure up”. Genuine curiosity can be inflammatory.

  Super weird response imo. There’s nothing wrong with prefering more people to check in, you don’t need a specific number

    And that’s what I’m trying to get across.

  I used to have no one in my life who’d initiate, and was quite happy with that. So from my perspective, 3 does sound like a good number of friends willing to keep you in their circle, but of course we don’t know the first thing about you or your circumstances. What is it about those 3 people that makes it feel like their effort isn’t enough to stop your feelings of isolation? I assume if it’s not about quantity, it’s about quality. Am I on the mark, or is it something else you find unsatisfactory?
