So I've seen posts where young people talk about being lonely and not having friends. So I figured there has to be some way I can provide insight from my experience from a more objective perspective.

So I asked GPT4 to interview me as a Psychologist, ask me questions one by one and prob where necessary to understand how I am able to form and maintain friendships and then compare it with available information in the field of Psychology and then present a brief summary.

This is what it concluded:
