My Category 1 tier is empty locally too ... and has been since last Spring. Before that there was just one lovely soul in there. So really it's been empty for 2 years. 

We have two friendly couples in Denmark who we see less than once a month. All my other connections are virtual, and mostly in Category 4.  And I am a people-person who's known for building communities.

Mayhaps it is time to STOP living in Denmark.

Thanks for these categories K, it will help me talk to the girls about friends in our next transition.
