ADVICE: Do I need friends to be successful in life? I have no one, and it hurts, but I also perform significantly better without other people with me. Am I just not meant to be around anyone? Will lacking friends handicap my career aspirations?

We are quite literally biologically social animals. We need other people in our lives in order to function long term. Relationships can be hard and interacting with others can be painful or inconvenient, but it’s all necessary for our overall wellbeing, even if you only choose to look at it from a productivity standpoint.
