So many of the things we do and milestones we celebrate revolve around the idea that the nuclear family and marriage should be valued above all else, she tells me. The way society is set up doesn't make prioritizing friendship easy.
Culturally, we are at our most individualized, self-optimized and self-employed. I also have the fewest friends I have ever had intentionally and not just because of my hermetic tendencies. I prefer to invest my time wholeheartedly in mutually enriching friendships.
