How many people do you interact with outside of work-related things? How many are local and how frequent is your interaction? How many of them do you consider close relationships and what defines closeness for you? How many could you share your thoughts without any hesitation, fear of being misunderstood? Any you could confide something in and not to turn around and tell everyone they know? Are any of your close relationships built later in life and if so how? Did anyone have success building local friendships from Freedomainradio? The reason I ask these questions is I'm curious not really in 'the norm' but of people who I think would be a little more authentic like here on this site.
