[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister has a huge network of people who care about her - close friends, work friends, neighbors, etc. she recently underwent surgery and it was literally like the queen had died. Friends inundated her with meals, flowers, calls, social media posts. It was heart-warming but I would be lying if I said it didn't make me feel bad. I just do not have this kind of support in my life. And I am wondering how one goes about acquiring it? Maybe that is a silly question and if I don't know, I will never know? But I am curious. How do some people have such large "support" bases??[/quote]

I have a lot of friends. I also highly prioritize friends because I do not have a great family. Someone with a great family probably doesn't care as much. I am pretty selfless with friends, not judgmental, self deprecating, stay in contact, invite people to join in when they are left out, inclusive to a fault..  It's not necessarily all it's cracked up to be. I think if I had a stronger family I wouldn't have to do that. [/quote]
