Ah, I remember how I felt the need to make friends and support these relationship just because society thinks that each person should have friends. All the time it gave me nothing but anxiety.

The only right thing to do here – accept your model of behaviour and do not look back on any other opinions – they do not matter. Do what works for you. You want to hang out with someone – that's cool, and if you don't that's perfectly normal too. Do not let society "best practices" fool you to live worse life.

☝️That is so true! I had similar feelings (do something bc of society) about making a family. I did it because I would like to have a family, not because everybody said I need to because that is the ”normal” way. Thank you again! My worries about not having friends just flew away in the window. 😄
