Are friends really that necessary in college?

<p>

Classic example of tautology. Sure, humans may be social creatures, but in what context? Of course humans have socialized and need to for society to keep running, but to extend that to say “It is unhealthy for a person to not socialize” is patently incorrect. Social skills are needed to thrive in society, I am not denying that. But, there is no scientific evidence that shows that a lack of friendships is detrimental to one’s health. That is, unless you can cite some studies? </p>

Your first assumption is incorrect, seeing as your psychological state has no bearing on the points made in your argument. That is ad-hominem and I clearly did not do that. I called out the “facts” you made in your posts AND then commented on your mental health, which was really in retaliation to your implication that I am the one who is to seek psychological help. A logical fallacy would be to dismiss your argument on the simple fact that you suffer from trust issues and are lacking in social skills, and as stated above, I did not do that. </p>

<p>Perhaps you should learn what a logical fallacy is before attempting to apply it?</p>
