Take a moment to think about that.

Edit: love when I don't set a standard for something without a standard and people don't use critical thinkg.

thought about it. I'm still unsure because I was trying to have a conversation and compare numbers, but no need to elaborate I dont want to offend you further

Comparison of the amount of friends one has is not good. It does not speak to quality of the friendships and can cause further issues for people if they don't "measure up". Genuine curiosity can be inflammatory.

I wasnt trying to compare amount of friends. I wanted to know how many friends reach out first that you feel is a sufficient number.

I think 3 is okay imo, but I figure you'd like more than 3? unsure, hence why I asked

How about we don't do numbers of individuals yeah? Bcause again that's a misleading piece of information.

[–] big_slap@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

literally said two hours ago how about we not and apologized since you took offense to it

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca -2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yet you kept trying to get a number when you were told no number existed.
