Rav Nachman of Breslov - 15
Sefer HaMiddot - Meriva 63
"If a person does not have acquaintances and friends, it is as if he is dead."
People are social creatures. We need others around (even for the so-called loners). Of course, this does not mean we should merely surround ourselves with random people to remove our alone status, for this might not lead us into becoming better people. We need to work on creating true bonds of friendship with the people who will help us grow. Of course, don't merely shun someone because you don't think you will benefit from their friendship. Who knows who truly helps us become better individuals and members of the group.
