Do you like having lots of friends or one special one? I would rather have one special friend than a whole group of friends. Do you have a lot of friends or do you have a few?

For me, I must admit that I don't have much friends. Only a couple of those those who I am close to. Perhaps it is because I prefer staying at home and thus a lack of new friends. Furthermore, I seldom go to parties where I know there will be many new faces I will be seeing. It feels awkward to be around unfamiliar people. And this, once again lessen my chances of meeting new friends. However, those friends that I am regularly in contact with, I know I can depend on them. I know that they will be there for me when I need help. Ever heard of the saying: "If you can count your friends with your fingers of one hand, you had a great life." We might have many many friends, but those that would stay by our side no matter what is what a friend really is

I have lot of friends and I also have a special one which is my bestfriend. Our friendship with my friends start with when were in high school.But as of now we just seeing each other every December they go home for a vacation because we have already job now in different places not like before and I miss them especially the bonding and memories we shared before. About my bestfriend we just keep on texting now with her she 's out of the country now. If we have time we chat in facebook online communication but I really missed the presence of her. hope to see them and very excited for the reunion we plan this coming December...

i am not a very sociable person and i am not fond of attending social gatherings. more often than not i just prefer to hang out with my friends whom i am very close with. a few good friends is okay with me than to have hundreds of them that i am not so comfortable to hang out with.

I agree with you too. I am a shy gal too so I prefer just a few special friends.

I have lots of friends in my high school days and college. But time has come to start anew and I am now in the working stage. I have also many friends in my workplace. But I do have special ones... My special friend is someone for me, who is a true friend. Even we are far apart, we will have contact with each other, we talk everyday and when we meet again we will have a sleepover and a party!haha A friend like that is a true friend for me since she is always around for you. You share thoughts and concerns, fun times with no dull moments, and only give out best and kind wishes to each other. =p

It's better to have a one true and special friend than to have a lot of friends that will destroy you behind your back. I have a lot of friends and I'm sure that all of them are true to me. I hope so. But having a lot of friends really helps.

I have three best friends, so unlikely but were friends since high school until now that we're married already. So that means I like to have many friends. But I choose my friends and discard those whom I know are just fair-weather, or just there when they needed you. Why I have so many friends? I can't help it since I'm a very sociable person and I met them along the way in the journey of my life.

I like both. I like having that special friend that you do everything with. The one you can be yourself around and tell all your secrets to. And I also like having that group of friends that is always there to go out with and have fun. I have 2 very close friends and then a group that I see often that I like.

I guess, that is the best answer... to have a few for true feelings and a group for laughs.

I work for a company which is in the international trading business. That keeps me busy contacting and working with colleagues in foreign countries. It also requires me to visit countries in different parts of the world. Very interesting to meet and work with people of different nationalities and cultures. Excellent opportunity to make friends and work together.

I've never had alot of friends at one time. I'm not real personable. My daughter is exactly opposite that. Every state we've lived in, she still has someone close she's kept in touch with for years and is their for them on special days. It's a gift, I think, and also the way you're raised to an extent.

I have a lot of friends, we meet them everyday of our lives. I have friends at home, in my office and old friends from college, high school and grade school. I try to keep each and every friend that i have because for me they are really very important. I don't keep just one because we don't know if that friend will have to leave us in the end to have a better opportunity somewhere or live with the family some place away from us. I don't want to be left alone with no one to turn to during my happy and sad moments.

Aww, sound very lonesome. I guess it's good if you can use your friends to erase it with. Thanks for sharing.

I've never had a lot of friends and I probably never will. I'd rather have a close knit group of a few friends instead. I would prefer a special love though. I have one right now. I appreciate my friends and love them , but not in the same way as I do my special one.

You know what, I've been burned so many times by a lot of people I thought I was friends with, so now, I only want to be friends with just a couple of people who are actually real. It's a lot better than having your heart broken over and over again just because of stupid misunderstandings and pettiness that they won't let go.

I prefer to have many friends as I have many interests. And I don't like to be possessed. I like a wide circle of friends and will widen the circle to include more.
