How Important are Friends?
How important are friends to you? and What are your dynamics like?
I've been thinking about making friends and connections. I'm introverted and enjoy solitude, but having someone to chat or hang out with sounds nice. I'm a low-maintenance friend: I don’t need constant interaction, just occasional check-ins. My current friendships work that way, and I always listen, help, and like to joke around when we do talk.
I tend to keep my distance, maybe due to self-doubt or anxiety. But, being around family and my thoughts all day can be draining. I enjoy both fun, silly moments and deep conversations. Either way good company is something I/I'd enjoy.

Friends come in all styles... casual friends /close friends /work or school friends .... they can all be helpful in many ways. I think it is important to have people whom you can talk to... maybe something they bring a different perspective or show you a different way of looking at things. It can help and enhance your life IMO.
i have a recent work friend had no idea how chatting with this person made me see things in a better way.... hopefully all friends no matter if in a short time or long term can even unknowingly provide a nugget of wisdom you will use in the next stage of your life.
I agree. The contrasting opinions your friends have can teach you and open your eyes. There's a value to that.
