I wonder.
what’s the most amound of close friends one can have at once? I mean people who, if you didn’t see each other for a week, you’d both feel a bit off?
Same thing for regular friends. People who you could call to hang out on a random Saturday, and nobody would think it odd.
What about friendly acquaintances? You know, the kind of people who’s names you know and who you say ‘hi’ to every time you see each other (and vice versa)?
I want to know. I’m thinking the limit is 4 personal friends (or five, if you’re in a sitcom), 16 regular friends, and 256 friendly acquaintances.
