FACTS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP
Updated: Nov 8, 2022
For a friendship to last, we should have
at least 5 positive interactions for
every 1 negative interaction.
We lose 52% of our friendships EVERY 7 YEARS,
but the size of our friendship group stays the same.
50-70% reported they were NOT SATISFIED with their close friendships,
in a survey given to 6,000 people.
You should spend 40-60 hours of QUALITY TIME
with an acquaintance before they become a casual friend,
80-100 hours for a friend to become a good friend,
and +200 hours for a good friend to become a BEST friend.
