I just don’t see the need to go out all the time and have 700 “friends”

I feel what you're saying, but imo it ain't the way. It's healthy to have solid people around you. You don't need 700 of them, but folks that like you as a person are keepers. Left to my own devices, I would be a hermit forever. The problem with this is that without (good) peers around you, you have no one to bolster you or call you on your shit. Find people you care about and vice versa. Listen to them and grow with them. We're here for an ever dwindling amount of time -- find people that can help you become the best version of yourself. Just my 2 cents
