Lifetime of social ties adds up to healthy aging at molecular level

My only real „friend” is my wife.

Over years I lost contact to all the ppl I considered friends.

I dont have time to nurture long distance relationships.

After studies we all moved away 200-300km from each other.

I have a lot of „pals” or „gaming friends”. But those ppl wont show up 4am at night to pick you up from a street fight.

I’m missing „meaningful” connections. Its easy to find ppl who dont care.

To be fair, I'm not sure I'd want to be friends with someone who gets into street fights at 4:00 a.m. My cut-off would be midnight.
