View submission: How big is your social circle?
You have to visualize your acquaintances, friends, coworkers and family as a layered system, like onion layers. It’s not only about how close friends are, it’s more about how many layers you have and how strong each layer is. Each layer needs maintenance, prioritizing the inner layers higher than the outer ones. But you occasionally need the outer contacts to get things done or get access to somewhere. Be polite and stay in touch. Show interest and help out, if you can. Build up a reputation as a reliable person. Over time it will pay out.
There's nothing here!
