How Do People Have 5 Friends?
The older you get, the fewer friends you have. Sure, there are work friends, but they’re not the type of people you would hang out with outside of the office. Also, you could consider your neighbors as friends, but our interactions with them are limited to waving hi in the morning and pretending not to see them after getting home from work.
According to a study done by genius dorks at MIT, humans have the ability to manage five close friendships at a time. Any more and our heads would explode. It’s nice to know that we have the capacity to have five close friends, but if we’re honest, one friend would be nice.
