Deadglock:

Do humans really need friends? This is Isaac Newton. He was... a jerk. And a loner. He had no wife, no girlfriends, dozens of enemies, and a nonexistent social life. He had only ONE friend for his entire life.

Yosad930:

one friend is enough. did u know friends are usually made based on a need? like a need of someone to talk to, a need of a companion, etc etc (heard it from teacher once i think) well its human nature to NEED friends but ig there can be some loners still out there by themselves

Ferrari:

Loneliness is not good for a human.

Ferrari:

While a couple hundred years ago Newton lived supposedly without friends its still something thats needed in TODAY'S society.

Ferrari:

Nowadays issa lot easier to feel isolated since it seems like everyone else talks to each other but realize u need communication

In a short summary, having friends is important. I was involved in homeschool under my dad for a few years and he never let me find ways to find friends and talk to others my age. I realized after going to private school and now living with my mom (abt to go to public school next year for junior year) that other people are USUALLY needed for happiness in one's life. I have social anxiety but I always have to realize that talking is a GOOD thing.

jamesruth:

for me, I've always gone to public school, I'm only a freshman though, but I have realized that I need a lot of people to get through life, for i grew up like that, I also move a lot, averaging 1 school every two years, I hated having to make new friends, It sucked for me, but i got used to it, I finally going to finish school in one place, and it made me realize how much I need those friends. But I know It's not like that for everyone, not always do people need others, it really is dependent on their standing in life is, how they see themselves, and how others see them. sorry, realize it became more of a personal rant then answering the question, but I hope it helps.

Ferrari:

Personal accounts on something like this are fine, I even left one too, thanks for sharing!!!

jamesruth:

thank you, yours is written good.

Ivoryix:

Yeah, humans do really need friends—at least most of us do. It's not just about having someone to hang out with; friendship plays a big role in emotional, psychological, and even physical well-being. Here’s why: Emotional Support: Friends help us process life’s ups and downs. Just venting to someone who gets it can reduce stress and anxiety. Belonging: We're wired for connection. Even introverts usually crave a sense of belonging to a tribe, however small. Health Benefits: Research shows people with strong social ties tend to live longer, get sick less often, and recover faster when they do. Identity & Growth: Friends challenge us, inspire us, and help shape who we are. Good friendships help you grow. Joy & Fun: Life’s just better with people you can laugh and be weird with. That said, not everyone needs a huge social circle. Some people thrive with just one or two close relationships, and that’s valid too. Quality > quantity.

I agree about the food and music, that's the only semi consistent thing in my life rn lmao

Shadow:

Humans are social creatures so some level of social interaction is necessary. Isolation from human contact is used as a soft form of torture even. And when it comes to people like Newton it's dangerous to draw conclusions from someone who had one of the largest IQs known to man, invented calculus, and set the foundation for many aspects of physics. This is an extraordinary human and not easy to say: hey just copy what he did, it'll be fine. As for friends being made based on need, I doubt that. I think it arises from common interests and lives that allow for that mutual connection. Then together they get that 'social' aspect they *need* as you say. But it's natural. I'll close with a fun biology example. The Neanderthals were a human species that existed alongside Homo sapiens and people attribute the fact of their demise being that Homo sapiens gathered and cooperated in much larger groups. So our heritage is that larger social circles allowed us to thrive. Maybe there is something to that to learn from (:

SsTDOGRednek:

It's not good to be lonely... it sucks... but yeah... what thy saiid

SaltySuga:

No, humans do not need friends

SsTDOGRednek:

I'll beg to differ, sir...

SaltySuga:

Okay beg

Deadglock:

lol I didn't know this question would blow up this much

1UPSA:

Me personally I don't think we do all people have different opinions though

SsTDOGRednek:

Well considering humans are naturally and genetically supposed to be social, I would say humans would need friends. Now, there's a difference between human friends and animal friends like a dog.
