What if they’re tight-knit, or the fabric of the community? We all have a common thread.
If you have a circle of friends, then by definition they are all fringe

If you are in the centre of the circle, that is.

With a circle you actually get the lowest possible ratio of friend-fringe to total friend-area, when compared to alternative 2-D friendship n-gons.

How so?

It’s really stupid, so prepare yourself for disappointment… Consider a circle, and then identify it’s fringe. Any point on the circle is on it’s fringe. Same thing holds if all your friends joined hand-in-hand to make a circle. Every one of them is a fringe element of the circle, because that’s what a circle is.

There’s an inside part of a circle, too.
