There used to be a bug that dwarves in any meeting area that was not the original type - so taverns, libraries and temples - didn't count as meeting areas so dwarves never made friends there.  Maybe this has been fixed?  In my fortress which made it through several versions of the game, all the dwarves have made friends.  But, early on in the fort's history I set up a conventional meeting area and set it to citizens only.

Even the forts most crabby, once friendless inhabitant, a goblin poet whose closest friend in the world was a giant cave spider, had made a bunch of friends.  And bonded with their cave spider friend.  Then again, this a 23 year old fort.  Maybe it just takes years and years to make friends in DF?

Moreso the opposite, unless the areas are literally over-capacity/small or not assigned they dont visit meeting zones over fufilling needs. Economy model tiny spaces are really the way to go and grandeur spaces should be fake or temporarily disabled/enabled.

Until i made a report, most dwarves actuallly made friends with their pet animals by improper peer-to-peer relationships, which got fixed by as a circumstance dwarves became much lonier. Dwarves will mainly interact with pets inside meeting zones as much as frequently as they'd talk to their own family for feelings of fondness. #0010366

I guess animals don't judge dwarves to harshly and they just liked to spend time talking to them a lot as they talk about their troubles, innermost fears and about things that have happened in their lives.
