Told you didn't need friends? What a strange message. My mother just set a strange example, she had no friends her whole adult life that I know of. Once a college friend visited her when I was small, that's the only friend activity I ever saw her do. She didn't enjoy her relatives either, just dutifully carried out obligatory vists.
All my life I craved friends and watched helplessly as other kids made friends and sad little me didn't know how. There was this playground ritual in 1st grade, you had to find a partner and hold hands to go inside after recess, and the friendless kids ended up at the end of the line sort of pretending to pair up. There I was among the friendless kids each day. Jeez.
All my true "best friends" in life have also been freaky loners. It's intense when freaky loners pair up.
I like the clothing fantasy. Nice to be wrapped up in beautiful cloth, looking at art, content.
