Yeah, if I had a comment quota, I would end up defriending some of my favorite people. For me, it's not the number of conversations but the content.

Yeah, I've lived on my own for a few years, so I know that it's better for me in the end. My goal is to find a job somewhere in the cities, (which is likely because there are many more jobs there than in my small town), then I'll be closer to friends and better able to see them more often, and I can still come home on weekends as often as I want and see my family.
