Good stuff, @mammasitta. It may come as a surprise, but I have a very small circle of close friends, dominated by family members. While I am very social, I don't really hang out with many outside of my circle.

I keep a tight group because I give my all to those within it, and I revel in the amazing support that they provide me. So, I agree: knowing where you belong is critical to success and happiness in this life. Cheers!
