How many of your facebook friends could you actually count on in a crisis? 

 

On average we have more than 150 Facebook friends, of those 150+ friends we’d only go to 14 of them in a tough situation…And only go to four of them in a real crisis

New research from Oxford University shows that we don’t have the mental capacity to have that many real friends.

Our brains can only handle five really close friends, about 15 pretty close friends, 50 good friends, 150 total friends, 500 acquaintances, and 1,500 people we’d recognize if we saw them.

 

Can you think off the top of your head the friends you could count on in a crisis?
