The friendship paradox is a mathematical phenomenon where, on average, your friends have more friends than you do. This occurs because people with more friends appear in more people's friend lists, causing them to dominate any random sample. In a 2011 Facebook study of 721 million users, the average user had 190 friends while their friends averaged 635 friends. This same pattern appears in other networks like co-authors and social media followers.
