The circle of friends is a platform for sharing personal life. Many people habitually rely on this platform to observe and understand a person.

Many people say that there is nothing to see in the circle of friends, not chicken soup for the soul, sunbathing babies, Wechat business, or all kinds of delicious food and travel photos.

With the increasingly powerful function of WeChat, we can know a person's outlook on life and values by looking at his circle of friends, as well as the industries and hobbies he cares about, and we can also see a person's cultivation and his perspective on the world.

I have to admit, sometimes we make friends casually, or sometimes we make some hidden ostentation to get more attention, but the empty space you send still reflects your field and your depth.

Robin, a professor of evolutionary anthropology at Oxford University? Dunbar has an interesting "Dunbar number" theory, that is, the size of human neocortex is limited, and the cognitive ability provided can only enable a person to maintain a stable interpersonal relationship with about 15 people. In other words, no matter how many friends and fans you have on social networks, the maximum number of people you can communicate frequently is about 15.

We say that many theories are summarized from practice, and more theories are destined to return to reality. Nowadays, people extract theories suitable for this era from reality so as to continue to circularly guide the gameplay and state of this period.

How to gain value in your circle of friends

From now on, on the one hand, purify your circle of friends, see worthless people, and block them without reservation. On the other hand, try to be close to people with depth in all industries, learn from others' thinking and look at things from an angle. Add more talented people than you, and over time, you will find that your circle of friends begins to become valuable, and your fragmentation time brings you more valuable information. You will also become more able to show your personal value with them.

Manage your circle of friends well. Your circle of friends is the best label of your personal charm and your best business card display. You will find that the scene of the two sides meeting and exchanging business cards no longer appears, but is replaced by direct exchange of WeChat.
