I only have 2 good friends off line. I have been burned so many times when I was younger by ppl who said they were my friend only to stab me in the back or use me that as an adult I am alot more selective about who I let in my life. The two friends I have a true blue, loyal and their when I need them, just as I am for them.

Friends are great if they are real friends. If you are careful about who you choose you can never have too many. Me personally I have a lot of people I know, and people I talk to but Only a few people that I consider my friends. :) If your friends are true of course they help your success because they support you in all you do.

I do have lots of friends, since I've been to many places already. I have traveled and ventured to some adventures, I get to meet good people on the road and established friendly relationships with some of them. We even still maintain good communications with each other, since I also get to be on that place every once in a while. I'm not sure what success they'd provide me, but I'm sure that having them proves that I am good in making friends with other people and that I am good in dealing with conversations..

I have about 10 good friends offline. I am on disability so not working currently and most of my acquaintences were either from there or from a club I would go to (because of not working I only go to the club at the most once a month) The friends though, even if I don't see them for a while are people I can count on. They help out as I have helped them, on not much more then a moments notice. I'm not sure if that means they help my success in life, but they do help me to survive in life.

That's good.I do not have much real friend either. I do have one that will sacrifice her life if she had to. I have many friends for fun only but not for hard times in life.

I like to have many friends that are very active on mulot. The reason is that because they are active , your email is full of questions every day. Make sure you switch your friends from off to on and see what happens. Your friends keep you supplied with questions and when you answer you automatically earn money.

I have noticed that people will only close to you if you have money to buy them foods or you have something for them for free. But once you are the one who need help for money,they just dissapear like a bubble. I only have few friends whom I can rely on. Others just a bunch of opportunist.

Well, I think (I hope) I have many friends in real life. I know I have a handful of REALLY good friends. And one best friend. My hubby. Yes, I think my friends contributed to my success in life, because I think to a certain extent it matters how you are viewed by others and that can make or break your confidence and self esteem. I have always been encouraged by my friends to try new things, have new experiences and generally to enjoy life. I like sharing things with my friends and having people around to celebrate little triumphs and commiserate over little failures with.

To be honest, I wanted to be friend of everyone and impress others. But now, after falling into world's friendship, I now want to roll back over to my own world of books, PC and just myself. Friends do help have a success in life for sure, but its how they are and how you can accept them. In my case, I still am in search of such a friend who best suits me and the one for whom I am made...not necessarily a girl (anwyays!;)). Now I prefer to be alone because I have seen what being into the group means. When one is alone, he gets a lot of space and time to think about SO MANY THINGS! When you are in group among the friends, you are limited to just one thing that is going on in the group. Now, I would like to just have a friend or few of friends, but those, who are really suited for me because, what the others talk about and work on hasn't ever been my hobby. It seems pointless to me to do the work they do. For instance, there is a lot of craze of crickets in our region, but I am not into it a bit! Instead, I just can't overcome this thought: A small non-living ball is making the people run around the ground, and millions of people gaze is glued to just a small non-living ball! See, that is how am I. And so, I prefer rather being alone. Earlier, I was rather Introvert. Then I tried to change to complete Extrovert, when I realized, that both the things at extremes is not at all good, so now, I am more Introvert, and Liberal in views (bit of extrovert).

Yes every one like to have many friends. But we think it is not good to have one 1000 friends in one month. You should have one best chosen friend with in the period on 1000 months. Friendship is a relationship which is more valued than gold.

No, I do not like many friends. I like few real friends. I like to have one friend in one thousand years, than thousand friends in one year. Friendship very important relationship. We should not call or name every person as a friend. Every hand shaker could never be a good friend. We should take special care to make a friend.

no i do not like to have many friends as u will not be able to concentrate them all together. i would like to have three or four that is all. then only u can be close with them and know more about them and feel the warmth of friendship and will come to know about their likes and dislikes. will have time to spend with them apart from ur family. and i would like to have only girls as friends and i hate to be friendly with guys i mean boys.

Friends can be good and the same time bad. Having wrong friends can lead you to undue peer pressure to do wrong things but good friends can assist you in many ways. Having many friends i think is good, but don't hesitate to drop off those who influence you in a bad way.

I like having many friends. But not all of them would be like close friends. I would just like to have a handful of friends who I can open up to. Everyone else can just be people I can have fun hanging out with. It's always so much better when there's tons of people around to party. Right now, I have a couple of best friends. A guy and a girl. It's really working out great because I get different opinions from both of them whenever I have a problem. They're the only two that I open up to. But we also have a common group of friends that we hang out with. I also have a few online and text messaging friends. They're good from when you need a stranger to talk to or get an opinion about. They won't know the people you're talking about so there wouldn't be any conflicts of the sort. I think that friends help in the success of ones life. It heightens ones self-efficacy. Like in school, I would always want to have some friends as my classmates because I know that they will back me up whenever I do decide to recite. So, it's easier that way.

I have a number of friends and acquainces or business associates, but as far as best friends go, I can count them on one hand. One I have know since 1990, one since 1993, one since 1994 and one since only last year. These are people who have supported me in different stages of my life and with different things. I know I can count on them and they know they can count on me. These people raise me up and motivate me - or give me a good reality slap when I need it.
