How do I not feel inadequate about how few friends I have
This is me as well if Iβm being honest. But remember that the number of friends you have doesnβt define you and sometimes having fewer closer friends is better. You are your own person and there is never a certain amount of friends you were supposed to have. So just love your own company. And of course, perhaps if you find somewhere with people with shared interests, you may make some friends there?
