I think the issue with many people is that they don't realize that many people have different definitions of friends, acquaintances and family.
Some also don't realize that with certain ways of defining these terms, other people can float between the different labels and/or have more than one of them.
Finally, if you're OK with a limited amount of friends, there's no reason to force yourself to expand it into a bigger group of people. Diversification of friends to reach wholeness in adult hood isn't a thing. Do it if you want to. Not doing it is OK too if you feel OK with that.
