what about people who didn't make any friends when they were children, are they doomed to be without friends based on your parameters?
i think childhood friend label is a over glorified meme, i have 3 childhood friends and i've lost contact with 1 of them and the other 2 are glorified drinking buddies
you didn't choose the kids you grew up around but you can choose the people you want to associate when you're independent enough to live alone, with that in mind id say some people i've met online are "better" friends than the ones i grew up around due to how much we drifted apart after growing up and finding our way in the world
