When you were a kid, you play with other kids, slowly you know each other, understand each other. And then that understanding grow into trust, and further into reliance or even love.
As an adult, reliance and love is hard to develop due to many factors, but understanding and trust can still grow.
Under this new situation, maybe it's just more rational to change the definition of friendship, since deeper interactions (such as companionship) has now became too expensive.

Maybe one day you'll find that you already have many friends living around you, you ignored it in the past because "that's just regular old living".
