THE BENEFITS OF FEWER FRIENDS

Opting for minimalism in your social circle is a hard but helpful choice.

- Prachi Rijhwani

THE BENEFITS OF FEWER FRIENDS

In a world where social media platforms push us to collect friends and I followers like trophies, the idea of opting for minimalism in your social circle might seem, well, counterintuitive. The more the merrier, right? Not always. Imagine a life in which your interactions are meaningful, your connections genuine, and your time valued. Opting for minimalism when it comes to your social circle can be hard but, trust us, it helps in more ways than you might think.

Quality Over Quantity

The concept of minimalism is often associated with decluttering your space, but it applies to relationships too. By focusing on quality over quantity, you create a social circle that enriches your life. Instead of spreading yourself thin across dozens of acquaintances, you invest deeply in a few. These are the people who truly matter, the ones who are there for you through thick and thin.

"UGH, I HATE HOW I LOOK!"

If the title to this feature is a sentence that goes off in your head every time you stand in front of the mirror, you need to keep reading. No, this is not your run-of-the-mill self-love spiel that will magically change your self-image by the end. It won't. And it definitely won't silence the voices that have told you to fix, hide, and erase parts of you deemed “too much” or “not enough”. What it will do is offer something rare: a reason, however small, to stop waging war with your reflection, and feel a little better about coming home to the person who's been there all along. You.
