Friendship paradox

The Friendship Paradox is a strange phenomenon that talks about how most of us have fewer friends than our friends do. It's like a math problem: if you look at the average number of friends that your friends have, it will often be higher than the number of friends that you have! What's the deal?

Think of it like this: Imagine you are standing outside a school with lots of kids standing around. If you look at how many friends each kid has, the average might be 4 or 5 friends. But if you ask each kid how many friends they have, they might all say they have more than 4 or 5 friends. That's the friendship paradox! On average, your friends have more friends than you do.
