Having people in your life is extremely important for happiness. However the question quality over quantity has always been prominent. The amount of friends you have is not important if you only ever talk about "impersonal" topics. Instead the friendships that you talk about your personal lives in are what really matters when it comes to seeking happiness.

“Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through.”

―Karl Marx

Although our minds probably rush to friends and family when asked about relationships, those aren't the only ones that matter. The simple relationships like our neighbors, the mailman, a teacher, also play a large role in our lives. These are the people that excite you when you wake up everyday, they are the side conversations that put a smile on your face. Oftentimes you see your neighbors more than your friends meaning that being satisfied with these relationships are just as important as the deeper relationships in your life.
