As an old Chinese saying went: A bosom friend (知己) is very hard to get in life. Indeed, while we may meet many people in our lifetime, the number of really friends we make is usually very small. And, why is that?
According to Science Daily, a persons friendships are determined by an amount of time and effort they devoted to them.
People, on average, form a very close relationship with three to five people, frequently interacting with 30 to 35 people, and know the names of around 100 people. In other words, we “interact at a regular basis with about 150 people”, reported Science Alert.
“It is not impossible to have relationships with 150 people and for them all to be intimate (亲密的). Therefore because one has a large number of relationship, it may mean that they are almost all superficial (浅薄的).” Ignacio Tamariti, lead author of the study, told Science Daily.
