God designed man to not be alone, it all starts in Genesis- Adam and Eve in the garden (Genesis 2:18)
It's a fact, not a thought. In friendships God wants us to know it is good to have friends, and keep good company. (1 Corinthians 15:33)
"Do not be deceived: bad company corrupts good character." Bad friendships, bad examples- really can ruin your good character and it is important to know The Lord wants you to have amazing friendships. Because our earthly friendships should be an example of our Heavenly one. We need to show others through friendship that God loves us and wants us to treat each other as Jesus treated us.
Having good judgement (wisdom) in picking and choosing good friends is something we all desperately need. Without it, where are our good friends?
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 says
" Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor; If either one of them falls down, one can help the others up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

In the beginning it's good to have amazing friends and in the end it is too. God never ever intended us to be alone in any sense, that's why we're blessed with family, support systems of any type and friends. Choose friends wisely, seek Gods wisdom in your friendships and don't let people hurt you or make you feel less than what you know you deserve.
