This goes against what most people believe. Researchers found that people with fewer but deeper connections report higher life satisfaction and lower stress levels than those constantly surrounded by large groups. The truth is, a big social circle often means more drama, less freedom, and deeper loneliness because real connection takes time to build. Quality beats quantity. Psychologists call this the ‘Dunbar Number Effect’—our brains can only handle 150 relationships at most, but only 5 really close bonds make us feel truly supported. So, if you’ve ever worried your circle is too small… don’t. Science proves that happiness grows deeper, not wider.
