Iam wundering I don't have a lot of friends, the one I know are my best friends and I do not see them a lot. But I do know a lot op people. I considder them not friends but only to socialize. With my best friends I have a high expectation of them and trust them with my personal problems and love them alot. If I have something I can talk to them all the time and deeply respect them. I have a high standard of my friends. I see alot of people with alot of friends, but wunder are that al good friends? Do anyone recognise this?

I have learnt through the years real friends are very rare, I have been very hurt in the past by people I have thought were friends so I don't consider a lot of people in my life as friends, I lokk at them as aquaintenances...I am afraid when people you think are special friends hurt you it changes your whole life.

I don't have a lot of friends too. Why do we need a lot while only a few of them are true? So, I would rather have a few true friends than a lot of friends that you don't know what's doing to you when you turn your back. True friends are rare and they're the ones that we should keep and cherish!

i've only really got 2 female friends i talk to, about anything. but other wise i find it better to talk guys. one of my female friends and i go way back, we've got that friendship that we can pick up the phone after not talking for yrs and talk like we've been in contact all the time. i think a real friend u can talk to with ease and be a nut with them and they wont care wat u both do together.

Yes I have lots of friends and i never expect anything from them.I separate the ordinary friend to best friends because they are special to me and from that i expect a little just lending me their ears when i need them. We can be a brother and sister to them also as much as we are close and have trust to each other. because Trust is the key to the long and lasting relationship. I will treat them also especial to me and i always told them that when i had a friend it will be forever as i have life. I am true to my friend but the bad things happened to me as my experienced was when a friend stabbed me at my back. In return i never did the same way also because I know it was wrong. So i love my friends and no more expectations to them. Have a nice day!

I don't have a lot of friends. I have a lot of acquittance who I know and have communication with. To me a friend is a person who you trust and tell almost all the is to know about us. A friend is hard to come by. sometimes a friend can become your worst enemy since they know a lot of things that is to know about you. So I have only a number of friends, close friends, best friends. My best friend is my wife. she knows almost everything about me and than some more :)

I have lot friends but I choose friends that I know who is trustworthy for my personal issues and secrets. I have no expectation for them because knowing them as my true friends i know what they can do and what is not.

welcome to the wonderful world of mylot. i dont have friends.... the friends i have are my wife's friends. my wife identify me as being loner but i would rather be alone than be surrounded by people who only remembers you when they needed something. my best friend is my wife, and that is what i am proud of. i no longer need any other friend for i am satisfied with her. and also one of my brother he is my best friend too. they are worth loving and dying for.

I don't have a lot of friends, that is best, because when you have a lot of friends all of them will not remain. If you have just a small about then you will not have to worry such much about who to spend your time with and who you can truly trust with your secrets. Having to many friends can really complicate your life. Having many associates at work or at church is great because you see them at these places only, but you have social conversations but nothing too personal.

hi there. i can say know a lot of people and i have a lot of friends but i only have one best friend and that is my boyfriend. those "friends" of mine i think are just there when they want to have but a true friend will always be there through thick and thin. we dont really need a lot of friends when they cant even be with us when we are down

hello. i used to have the same concern, i envy my classmates for having alot of friends while i just kept things to a few friends. i don't socialize alot, thinking that people may just be users. making friends when they need you and junk you if they don't need you any more. I rather have a few TRUE FRIENDS than having a lot of the " so called friends". A True friend is a blessing. friends are there to socialize.
