And all this time, i thought your whole purpose was to suck the joy out of existing. So close...

I think that these statistics are biased by the fact that people without friends are more likely to get depressed and off themselves. It's not like they died from disease or old age. Just another example of people skewing their research for fame.

Oh, and by the way, you were correct the first time. We are here to suck the joy out of existing,

Have a nice day!
