[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many People with large networks tend to be extremely extroverted and need contact and relationships with many people. I have friends who get their energy from constantly interacting with others and they spend most of their free time maintaining their many friendships. I don’t know that most of these friendships are on a deeper level, but all of those people would definitely bring meals. [/quote]

This.

Someone in my world passed away and about 200 people joined one of the Zoom memorials.

Everyone thought they were the special person. He made a lot of people feel special. He also hurt some by making them feel special and then kind of moving on to the next group. At the funeral, I saw he had a deep need to be liked. He didn’t get a lot of art created, and I wonder if he was happy with his choice to focus more on connecting with hundreds of people versus doing something else.

I have a small core group. They would be supportive if I needed it. I don’t have hundreds of people or anything, though. If I did, I would be exhausted.

I also felt a little envious but I felt less envious when person after person mentioned his need to be liked. It made me sad because it seemed like a lot to be saddled with.

Overall, I guess we just don’t know. We can see something from the outside and think it looks great but maybe there is a downside we don’t always see? [/quote]
