Current Events > What are the benefits of having friends (as a fellow human being)?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Greetings fellow humans, I'm sure some of you have heard of the concepts of "friends". I am also a human and would like to discuss the pros and cons of human friendships

There are no benefits. Cut them off. Throw them all away. Friends only serve to drag you down. Only power matters. Use people like the tools they are.

That is logical.

i hate that i don't have it in me to do so

I asked that chat bot ai thing:

Having friends can provide a sense of belonging and support, can boost your self-esteem, and can provide an opportunity for personal growth. Friends can also offer a unique perspective and help you to see things from a different point of view. Additionally, having friends can provide a sense of companionship and can be a source of fun and enjoyment. Overall, having friends can be a valuable and important part of your life.

It is a bit of a hefty commitment. And it's a lot to ask of someone.
There is a kind of honeymoon period though, where it's really setting in that you and someone have a lot in common and you're at your most eager to share things with them or find out more about them. That's a lot of fun.

they might let you crash at their house for a bit. i used to do that

they also provided taxi service i just had to buy them drinks for get-togethers
