View submission: Relationship minimalism
That seems unhealthily obsessive about minimalism. Humans are social animals who do best when they have a network of relationships with people around them: family, close friends, acquaintances, etc.

Not everyone is the same. I was only social because I was emotionally needy. When that went away mostly, I felt the need to make my inner circle smaller....and it's not like I'm a hermit who lives in the woods? I still smile at strangers, chat to coworkers, have a few close friends, talk to my favourite family members, etc...
I just hate socializing out of obligation or because I am comparing my social life to someone else's on social media.
I socialize more intentionally. How is that obsessive?
