That's not what I was doing.

Like, I'm an extreme introvert. Most people are more extroverted than I am. Despite this, I have more than two close friends.

Whatever's causing some people to have small emotional support networks is something that should be studied by scientists, rather than taken for granted like this article does. Preventing unnecessary suffering is a net-positive for society.

But the article excluded the people who have more than two close friends, and kind of took that for granted. So I was responding to the article, not the circumstances other people suffer through.

I can see how someone could misread my comment to mean something else, but that wasn't what I was stating.
