I'll use my personal experience to answer this question.

So I grew up in a family of 5 comprising of my parents and three kids including I, my dad was a very strict man and also at the same time a loving man he's what we call rod and staff (rod for punishing and staff for comforting)...funny right 😂 my mom was full of love but would kill you if you mess up.
They taught us to always play with ourselves , like we're not allowed to go out and play like other kids,
we aren't allowed to go out of the gates and mix with the other children in the neighborhood, so I really didn't have the opportunity of friendship at that moment.

Let's fast forward to my days in secondary school,I began to mix with different people with different behaviors,beliefs, mentality,and goals, some where the playful type all they wanna do is till their limbs can't move anymore, some are bookworms and all they do is read till they kingdom come,some are after girls, relationships and you know teenagers stuffs then ....

I was so confused about how to make friends because I didn't have when I was young ... A lot of people saw me as their friends but deep down I never really trusted them or felt comfortable with them till I finished my my secondary education I had only one friend (someone I don't even speak to again right now )

*A lot of people see it as pride, that I don't wanna mix with them, but it's actually the opposite, I've just become to shy to offer friendship to others or trust them .... Until recently where I met some God sent brothers (I call them brothers nt friends because they act like one) and these are some of the benefits I've been enjoying since then.

1.Freedom of expression: when we're together there's nothing like "too posh" we talk about things I can't tell my family .

2.Business Deals:they've given me countless of deals that I've benefitted me in numerous ways(and please if you have friends like this always try to REWARD them, even if they don't ask for it please do).

3.Eradication of loneliness: you won't feel so lonely any more, everybody is seeking after money soo much they don't have time for you but true friends will always have time for you.

4.Emotional support: in case of a break up or how to ask a lady out they'll give you super advices that would boost your morale (but not into fornication) and lots more I can't say.

I know there are disadvantages in friendships like: bad influence, exposing secrets during fights, derailment from goals etc.

In conclusion YES YOU NEED FRIENDS but:

MAKE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE OF SIMILAR GOALS!!!!
