It is and it does make me happy, so I agree.

I don't think it's necessarily uncommon for this to happen to people, because they often have a lot of people they interact with occasionally, but don't know in an extremely deep way, such as at a school or university or other place with a lot of "regular" people. I just stopped particularly chasing the close friends thing, and adjusted my mindset.

There is a drawback to it when health problems occur because that can be hard to handle alone, but outside of that it just works for me.
