How many friendships have you had to end

[Decoy of Fenris]

15. Just going by what you said, mate.

You yourself said you've had to "cut ties with dozens of people." One dozen is twelve, two dozen is twenty four, so plural of dozens means you've cut ties with at least twenty four people. Given that a human's Dunbar Layer of social interaction is limited to around 140 people on the high end, and that only 4.1 of them are considered "close" friends, you've said that you have eliminated 25% of your close friends and approximately 20% of your more casual friends from your life over a -difference of opinion-. Each one of those culled from your social sphere has not been at their urging, but yours.

All things considered, you have a better rate of silencing dissenting opinions than the Russians did during the Stalinist Great Purges.
