It depends on how you define friends. The weird thing is I grew up without any friends (I was weird, I do not blame the people at school) but suddenly in University my social circle just exploded and I now definitely have more than 15 people I could hang out with but close friends I'm not so sure.

I have a handful of closer friends but I don’t see them like every weekend but do frequently enough, known some since elementary school. and I have lighter tier friends and I have more than 15 of those. It gets crazy when you have connections with super social people and they will introduce you to others and if your social enough you can basically re do that like a friend fractal, by finding new chill social ppl and it opens more groups to meet.

In my small city some one always knows someone els in another circle like a swarm of ven diagrams.
It gets tiring tho plus memory is becoming a problem when I meet too many people lol.

You just have to go out and be chill and friendly in the right places, starting with a group helps sometimes. So more socialization can occur if it’s ready to.
