I guess it's part of my background and experiences that have shaped my answer, but my own personal experiences have been taxing in the age of social media. I'm part of a generation where people with the most likes and friends on social media get the most respect. As I finished up 6 years of uni, there was a pressure to socialize and be as extroverted and similar to the crowd as possible, otherwise I would just fall through the cracks.

Maybe I just haven't figured out how to balance between constant connection and alone time, but after being stretched and living life with very few personal boundaries, I've been practicing how to achieve that balance and that's where I found Dunbar's concept promising!
