I don’t think the reason we don’t have many close friends is because we don’t want them. I think it’s because we can’t handle too many close friendships. We like telling everything to just a handful of people in our lives and focusing on them, because it would actually be exhausting to try to forge those same kind of relationships with everyone you like and want to be friends with.
So we choose who fate gives us. And maybe that’s how it should be.
