There’s a graph I saw a while ago on the Internet that’s stuck with me. It shows how you spend your time with others as you get older. So, from ages 0-12 or so, you spend a lot of time with your parents and your siblings. Then you slowly spend less time with them and more and more time with your friends.
Wait. As you get older, friends will become more remote in much the same way you’ve described for family, and you’ll fall back on family.
