Your social life does not have to look like a sitcom to be real. You may have a friend who knows your childhood, another who shares your Saturday walk, a former coworker who understands your workday, and someone hundreds of miles away who answers when it matters. They may never meet. They may not belong in one group chat. They still count. No Friend Group Required offers a practical, research-informed guide to making, keeping, repairing, and releasing friendships that fit a real adult life.
It covers specific invitations, distance, changing capacity, mismatched expectations, boundaries, repair, drift, and ethical endings. It does not promise a cure for loneliness or a formula for collecting people; it offers clear language for choosing proportionate next steps while respecting consent, access, money, disability, caregiving, grief, and safety.
