The attributive clause following “the way” is used without the preposition andrelative pronoun “in which”. The omission happensonly when “the way” is used as the antecedent. Moreexamples:

I hate the way he manipulates people.

The way he delivered his speech was impressive.

2.Indeed, we might feel as if we suddenly have toomany friends. (Para. 2):

“As if” appears here to introduce an adverbial clause of manner. Usually subjunctive mood is used in the clause to indicate a hypothetical situation.

More examples:

He continued with his reading as if nothing important had happened.
