Do I actually need friends?
It sounds like a meme because I already have a family and I don't crave emotional support either.
No, but they're nice to have I guess.

No. Be a robot if you want to. Nobody cares.
>>18108894
No, nobody does really.
Nofriend reporting.
You don't need them, but they do help break the monotony of self indulgence.
Even your most favoritist hobbies and interests can become stale over time.

All of my friends are shut-ins that sit up all night in our Discord server screensharing movies and playing games in tabletop simulator. I like them more than my "real life friends"

They are a meme without which society would collapse

Make acquaintances instead of friends. That way you get to have company without the commitments.

No, but having a good friend or good friends will almost always benefit you.
If you are an autist, then no.
Everyone else should have some, because connections can bring you a lot in life and there are things nobody can think through alone.
But if you are not able to control yourself enough to have friends, well that is your problem.

Friends are great, because they actually give a damn about you. Acquaintances are a pain in the ass to keep track of, but they can be useful at least.
If you have the choice between making one good friend and ten acquaintances go for the friendship.
