    What do you mean?

    If you’re lonely because you don’t have people to hang out with, you need more friends.

    If your existing “friends” are shit, you need to not be friends with them. If that puts you in the situation above, then you now need new friends to compensate for losing the shitty ones.

    But most people have the drive to meet new people in their teens and twenties, and by 40s you’re fullon in prune friends mode, no new friends.

    Occasionally that also leads to needing more friends. Especially if you got pruned instead of pruning.

    But it’s really that simple.

    If you’re lonely often, you need new friends. Doesnt automatically mean get rid of the old ones.
