"Note that on average most people have fewer friends than their friends have, a phenomenon known as the friendship paradox, which means that one is unlikely to be friends with someone who has very few friends. In other words, building a larger social network is essential to making friends.

And how does one build a larger social network? By taking an interest in others, or taking an interest in something and finding likeminded others who will then seem interesting."
