I'm more of an introvert and prefer to spend time with one person or small number of people close with. Which isn't anyone, currently. I can handle being alone, but I understand human beings are not meant to be as we deal with loneliness, depression and mental breaks as a result. One question I wondered is if you moved away from old friends, lost contact with or it never occurred you didn't have any once you settled into creating a family. Family becomes the new focus for some while others still need an outlet given they are social. It's rare to have good friends and usually ends up being one person, so I think the family is the fulfillment that can't be replaced or broken as easily. Depends on the individual's outlook. It must not be easy in Japan to go out alone and socialize/be friendly and gain relationships that way.
