boboiboy canonically having no friends before moving to pulau rintis is very important to me because girl same and gives me so much room to make headcanons about what he was like Before TM
In my mind's eye, he was probably one of those kids who just hung out with his parents and/or their friends instead of playing with his peers, especially since they had Mechabot. Why would he need to make friends when he has the coolest friend right here?
And his parents saw this and started talking to Tok Aba like "hey we're really worried about boboiboy, he's not very social and only wants to play with Mechabot and i don't think that's good for him"
Meanwhile Tok Aba has this group of kiddos that just. screw around him while he's trying to work. So he's like "Hey there's some kids here his age that are all very friendly, I can make him socialize with them"
and he proceeds to tell all of said kids about Boboiboy and forces him to Socialize TM and he makes Friends
MechaBot: I'm a very mature bot. I'll always apologize if I'm wrong.
Amato: I've never heard you apologize before.
MechaBot: That's because I'm never wrong.
