It's possible, but you need to be very social. Basically you do group activities every few weeks, some people are friends but live further so you meet them rarely, and some friends either need to live very close to you or share some activities (kids clubs, maybe some fitness activity, maybe work, etc).

My sister has 10+ friends she actively maintains. I have 2 :)

I have like 4 close 4 mid and 4 far away friends and then probably another dozen work/activity friends but I don’t think I could maintain them all as close friends just too much upkeep.
