How important is it to have friends ?

Most friends just stab you in the back eventually. Not overly worth it to me

To understand the importance of people in your life, be it friends or family or "society", one needs to be alone for a month, no internet, no phone, no person, no communication, no books, nothing, just surviving alone in the cruelty of nature (and yeah, nature is pretty cruel). Does the idea sound horrifying? YES. So, be thankful to have friends and people. Every person is not necessarily a good person, nor a helpful one, but everyone you meet plays an important role in your life. Either they create an impact on you or you create an impact upon them. Either you grow or you do not. The choice is yours.

It's important to have people in your life, so you can support one another.. it's important, be it through friendship or otherwise.

pretty important

Important for me but I can live by myself for some time too.
