THE RIGHT NUMBER OF FRIENDS TO HAVE _ A 2010 study conducted by psychology professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad showed that loneliness can be as bad for your physical health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. According to Holt-Lunstad, “Just like we have guidelines and recommendations for the amount of sleep we get and how physically active we are,” the friendships you have are “health relevant.” There’s no perfect answer to the question of how many friends is the right number of friends for improving your health, but six is a solid start, according to a 2016 study.
