I have food. I have water. I have oxygen. I get my social interaction through Reddit, and by interacting with my coworkers (about work related topics). What more could I possibly need? I get it, some people really do need close friends to live a fulfilling life. Not me. The only times I feel sad or lonely or anything like that is if I don’t get enough sleep. Because sleep deprivation fucks with your emotions. Friendship is not a need, it is a want. A desire. We do not biologically need friends to survive, I’m aware that we do need some degree of socialization but we can get that in other ways. For example, I’m socializing right now by using Reddit.
