Dunbar's number doesn't necessarily mean "150 friends". As the first line says, it's 150 "genuine social relationship, the kind of relationship that goes with knowing who they are and how they relate to us". So it might be a couple friends, but it also means your family members, the classmates you see regularly, your workmates and bosses, your neighbors, your school friends from when you were younger, etc.
