According to a survey conducted among adults in the United States in May 2021, 12 percent of respondents said they had no close friends. This marked an increase compared to a three percent share of U.S. adults stating the same thing during a survey conducted in 1990. Conversely, the percentage of Americans who said they had 10 or more close friends decreased from 33 percent in 1990 to 13 percent in 2021. The decrease of larger friend groups went hand in hand with a rise of adults stating they had between one to four close friends.

A stateside social recession? Americans marrying later, working longer hours, and becoming more geographically mobile are some elements posited as potential reasons for the nation's increasing loneliness - all this without mentioning the far-reaching consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This statistic shows the results of a 2013 survey among Americans aged 16 and older regarding the qualities they are looking for in a close friend. This statistic only shows the top five answers to that question. 81 percent of the respondents stated a close friend has to be loyal.

Purpose: Aphasia may decrease the capacity to develop and maintain friendships. The aim of this study was to better understand the perspectives of people with aphasia on why some friendship bonds remain strong and some do not. Furthermore, we wanted to explore how age and aphasia severity shape views on friendship.Method: We interviewed 27 people with aphasia about their experiences of friendship before and after the onset of aphasia. We then used framework analysis and reflexive thematic analysis to interpret the interview data.Results: From the interviews, we created four major themes concerning how friend relationships had been impacted by aphasia: (a) Not all bonds have the same chance of surviving the onset of aphasia; (b) people with aphasia’s closest friends took active steps to keep relationships strong; (c) if friends knew some basic information about aphasia, bonds would stay stronger; (d) positive affective aspects of friendship play an important role in keeping bonds strong. We also noted differences in friendship experiences that appeared to be influenced by age and aphasia severity of participants.Conclusions: Interview data provided actionable ideas including focusing on friends who are likely to be responsive to help with maintaining the friendship, providing them with strategies to keep the friendship active and communication meaningful, and acknowledging the positive impact that this will have on the friend recovering from aphasia. More research is needed to develop programs that empower people with aphasia to maintain their friendships.Supplemental Material S1.
