I mean, it doesn't always work, but it is like, better than anything else I've tried.
But I mean, IDK how close do you mean by friends. Because I mean, this way, you do sort of end up sort of distant from them, anyways, because it's not you, after all, but, I mean, I guess that, if you stay longer around those people, you end up relaxing around them, and then you can become closer..... Or end up losing them. :-/ But I guess that's just part of the whole thing, anyways.
