People who say “you don’t need anyone” might be confusing independence with isolation.

Being able to enjoy your own company is a strength, but pretending nobody adds value to your life can become a weakness.

The right friendships don’t just exist to stop boredom. They challenge you, support you, introduce you to new ideas, and sometimes bring out parts of yourself you wouldn’t find alone.

A lot of people don’t hate friendship itself. They hate low-quality friendships, forced conversations, and feeling like they have to perform.

The goal isn’t to have a hundred friends. It’s to have a few people who genuinely make your life better.

Being alone can be peaceful, but the right people can make life richer.
