the human brain can only handle 150 stable relationships
i swear i tell everyone this.
it always makes me think. when i make new friends, later on i wonder who im pushing out, or after a fight i wonder if it was brought on by new friendships. not that its an excuse to fight or that it explains one. just that i find it interesting that my brain gets confused by new people and takes out the confusion on others.
i had over 800 facebook friends a week ago. ive managed to cut it down to a little over 650. i plan on cutting back more, but i dont think ill get own to 150. when it comes to so few, i wonder, who is important enough to keep? is this how my brain works? it assesses who is most important and then allows other relationships to deteriorate?
