I have many friends , my school friends , my college friends , my near by friends . Some friends take me into right path , but some of them tell me wrong things . I am confused as to continue friendship with those kinds of friends. What is your opinion on this ? How many friends do you have and how close are you with them?????

Not all friends can be nice, but keeping them can help us in many ways like getting a recommendation from them for job offers. I am going antisocial. I lost the count to how many friends I have. When I was in school it was very easy to get them, but now that I am a graduate things are not the same. Moreover, I moved to a different city. My friends live 3 hours away from me. So I cannot go to see them all the time. Also they are graduates and so they are busy building their own lives now. I wish to not stay antisocial anymore. It all just started happening after I got my boyfriend. We are friends to each other also. So I find myself little lazy in reaching out to my friends. They sometimes leave messages on my Facebook walls. I reply to them. But thats all. I wish I was living in my own city. People over there knew who I was. Here no one knows me despite the fact that they are friendly. But I get this "you are not from my city" feeling for which I stay away from them. This is really a bad attitude. But I am really not fond of where I am now. This place is too hot and above all, I don't belong here.

I have few but very dear friends. I help them and they help me. I have never been able to have lots of friends. I have many aquaintances but for me the word friend mean more. In this site many people ask to be friends and I donĀ“t say no to anyone. But my close friends here are few.

having many friends is great but i prefer building a relationship with my few friends rather than having many shallow friendship.
