Technically it's not impossible to function without friends, since it's all a matter of preference to the individual.
For example even though I did have friends during many periods in my life, I spent most of my time in isolation so I could learn and develop things like new skills, interests, tastes, etc.
And I think they've all benefitted me to a major extent. But I do find that with friends you can experience these types of things differently.
But again, it really boils down to what you prefer in life
