Is one good friend enough, or do we need many?

I think everyone NEEDS one good friend. The more good friends you have the more fun a gathering can be, but as long as you have one person in this world that you can trust with your secrets and still have fun with each other I think that's all anyone needs.

I think having one friend is great. But having many means we are blessed.

i think if you have 1 really good friend then you are doing great.. the more the merrier but so many times the extra friends turn out to not even be friends for long or for real.. as long as you have one person you can count on i think everything is perfect

Hello, I think one true bestfriend is enough ;) It is hard to find someone sometimes that will always be there . I am very blessed to have finally found a keeper . I mean sure there have been great friends over the years that i will always keep close to my heart, and I have had many let downs too . I have seemed to form more stronger bonds outside of school . I would rather have 1 true friend than 10 fake friends .

Hi Cool, I am selective about my friends; and the few close friends I have are people whom I can depend on anytime. I feel that it's no point having a lot of friends, many who are just 'feel-good' friends - people who are only around where everything is fine, and disappear when you have problems or need help.

A lots of really good friends for me.

when it comes to friend I prefer quality over quantity on mylot I have hundreds of friends but only about 5 I know long enough and I love sharing with them only 1 knows my email :) I am more open to her than to anyone else here can't say I don't need friends but I only need good ones

I think one good friend is the minimum, the one thing we really need. More is better off course, but I think that one is better, because then you can focus entirely on him/her. Have a nice day..

For me one is enough, if you had many good or best friend some of your friend tends to argue with you who is your best friend.

I would rather have one good and true friend than many false friends. I am one that believes that the less friends, the better, as long as they are true friends.

well it's a basic need of ones life..A true,honest and good friend will be always there to look after u..To cheer you up when u are upset..Generally I consider on should have 3-4 good friends.and that man will never feel alone for the rest of his life..provided if he is also honest to them........

well its a basic need of one's life.. well one will be enough

For me a few good friends are enough and i don't want to rely heavily on one friend so i rather have a few i can count on. Right now my friends are separated into friends i make where i'm living and friends from my home country.

I have always noticed the more friends someone has the more they get stabbed in the back. It seems there is always someone that starts something and then everyone starts taking sides. I prefer to have only one really good friend. I have other friends, but they are not as close. Most my friends are not even friends with each other. I think as an adult having a hole circle of friends isn't as important as when you are growing up.

Same here too. In all the different stages of my life i made many friends, during school,college,working days and now during my retired days.Many friends disappeared due to various reasons but a few have stuck and we are loyal to each other as we keep in touch. However i have just a couple of friends whom i can completely depend on and vice versa. We may have many friends throughout our lives but if we have just one person who is completely trustworthy, dependable and helpful in all situations then that friendship is worth its weight in gold. Most friends are fair weather friends,ie, they are around you during your good times but when you need them they make all sorts of excuses and vanish from your sight altogether.

I have one or two really good friends and quite a few aquaintances who speak to when I go out,these are nice people but I would not tell them my secrets or worries or want to spend days with them.The good friends I do have I could spend days on end with them and we love each others company and always find something to talk about ,exchange views and look forward to our meeting.I have one particular friend who is very special we have been good friends for ten years and really close since I gave up work two years ago,ring one another and meet once or twice a week.When I was ill with a bad back she came round everyday and peeled my potatoes,hoovered my carpets, washed my floor and took my washing and ironing home,she even decided one day to clean my oven,I said don't worry but I was stuck in a chair and could not stop her,I just gave up and let her do what she thought needed doing.She is an absolute treasure and I love her.Considering she has an autistic son with other problems as well,she still insisted on helping me.

Every person I meet at work, in church, at school, in politics, in games, etc. I try to cultivate as friends. And I try to keep them. But it's my friends who don't try to keep me hahahah... Anyway, I have made friends during various phases of my life who are still very close to me. And I still try to make more friends. No, my friends don't have to fill a need/area of my life. My general attitude is rather that every person I meet is a potential friend. I believe in the saying that "strangers are friends we haven't met."

hei!! actually i'm very choosy abt making friends coz unnecessary ppl around u are h=just like weeds of ur lyf.,.,nd weeds r of no use they just pull ur leg away from success . Myself, a gang of six ppl v never let anybody to enter our group no matter how gud they be 2 us.,.,..,.,nd also v r gud 2 others. so i think there is no problem to have many friends but best friends should less...nd if u dnt have best friends that means u havnt founded a person who is up to ur standard.

i have 3 good friends, it will be nice to talk to them.

[b][/b]I think friend is lottery.Whether more or less is good it can't be sure.People when they are young,at school ,they often get more friends ,then when they get to work ,they may have little friends,workmates is not the same as classmates?But you can have friends who have the same hobby with you .Someone is used for work ,someone is used for confabulate with?If they can live together in peace,maybe they can make friends very easy?
