Are friends really that necessary in college?

When you make bold claims and assert your opinion as truth, it is not unreasonable for me to ask for evidence. You may take everything at face-value, perhaps, but I am not as irrational and simple minded. If you cannot provide evidence, then your opinion is no more valid than mine. </p>

<p>Have you seen me argue with other posters that say “Personally, I can’t imagine how people can live without friends”? That is their personal opinion and I respect that, they did not try to pass their opinions off as fact. However, when other posters imply that those who do not want friends are always depressed and psychologically unhealthy and stating it as “common sense”, I’m going to ask for some evidence to support their facts.</p>
