well, i used to have a fairly big group of friends, but a pretty small group of friends that i'd actually hang out with often. but now that i'm out of high school i find myself with an even smaller group of friends that i still keep in touch with constantly. it's sad to think of those i've lost, but i'm content with the friends in my life - no matter how few there are.

they say, if you lost one friend, you'll find one.. true friends are worth keeping even though how few they are in your life. they'll become our life's treasures.

I like diversity, so being in touch with lots of people helps with that. A few close friends is good too.

i keep a small group of my close friends. i think as friends, the more, the better, but the close ones, u pay much time, energy and emotion at the cost. of course, u gain more from them. thus, a few is enough.

I dont like more friend.I like those friends who can share our feelings and problem.Now it is very difficult to get a good friend.If we have enough money,then lot friends will gather around us.A real friendship cannot be measured with money.A friend is need is a friend indeed.

Hi, there. I don't really think anyone would have too many friends in the end. Most of them would just end up as aquaintances. Anyway, I like to have a small group of close friends beause I am certain that we would still be there for each other until we grow old.

Hi nishurs! Too Many Friends? You can pick your friends, or so the saying goes. But how many of these friends will be close, and how many will be mere acquaintances? I think it kind of depends on what your definition of a friend is. Some people consider a friend what I consider an aquaintance. That being said, I think you can have too many friends. There comes a point when you can't keep up with all of them. I personally beleave in quality than quantity. I would like to have a 'few' quality friends.

when you say friends.. many of us wants to have many friends including me, because it makes your life happier. as they say, " the more, the merrier". But when it says tru friends, of course, at least one, or in a small group only.. it's hard to give trust..

haha.. Do I really have to choose. I'd like to have both! I would actually like a small group of close friends better. As long as they all knew each other. As it stands I have 4 really close friends but they are all from different circles so I find it difficult to have group functions.

it is nice to have many friends. and from these friends, there's what we call close friends. these close friends are our select small group among our friends who are treasures in our life. i like to have both because friends are life's blessings..

well i will never like to have too many friends.i am an extrovert kind of person and like to mingle with lot of people,however i would always like to have a small group of friends only and those all should be very closet to my heart and the ones who will always cherish my friendship.i dont want to have friends just for the namesake.

Well coming to think about it I would say being attached to many people means the bonding power is less as spending time with your friend is very important to maintain a close friendship . So I would say it is better to be friendly to many but befriend only a few whom you can never remove from your heart .
