Having few Friends

Of course it feels good to have wide circle of friends, but the wider the circle the further away they get. I have a few very close friends and I really do not think I could be a close friend to them if I was being distracted by lots of people, life it too busy and anyway I would run out of time.

I think it isn't important how many friends you have. What's important is if they're good friends and people. That is, you can have very many friends, but if they aren't someone you can rely on in times of trouble, that means they aren't really good friends of your. I think it's better to have few, but very good friends. Though, it really depends on the person, since someone is comfortable when surrounded by many people, while others are comfortable only when they are in a small group.

Hello MJ, I don't think it matters how many friends you have it matters much close they are. I have few friends but all of them are very close and always remain ready even at odd times to help me out when I am stuck somewhere.

It doesn`t matter if you have few friends or a lot of friends what matter is how close you all are and how much you can trust and depend on each other

I think it is no matter how many friends you are, the most important thing is how many true friends you are. I also just have few friends, but they can be trusted, I do not afraid they cheat me and harm me. We help each other.

I will not feel rich when a lot of friends surround me, I cannot keep patient for a long time with so many persons, one to two close friends is enough for me. Of course, in the different period of my life, I will have different close friends, cause I always change my living places.

Actualy, one true friend is far more than enough. It is true that a lot of friends can make us feel rich. However, one true close friend could make us feel even richer. A true friend is like a pot which is filled to the brim with rich nutritious food. I have seen people having a lot of friends. They are just passing the time , or better still, they are killing time. They are not serious about life. They are friends in order to escape from the harsh realities of life. After all, life is not always pleasent. The true friend does not encourage you to escape. The true friend will not divert you from the day-to-day problems which need to be solved.

Although I`m a friendly person and a sociablr one, I have few but very close friends. I would call other people acquaintances. We can have a good time together at a party, but I could not cry in their arms. I have such diamonds that you mention, and feel blessed by having them.

I don't think the number of friends has any friends,it's their quality which matters.You can have only one good friend willing to listen to you and help you when you go through difficult times and that's enough to make you feel that you're not alone.The important thing is to find that diamond stone and set it apart from the others,and to be able to do that we need some kind of proof that a person is worthy to be considered our friends,and that proof comers sooner or later with the different trials and hardships life has in store for us.Anyway,I'm convinced that only in hard times we can see who our real friends are.

I don't care if I only have one as long as that one friend is a true one. What would I do with a hundred friends if they're phony and they don't even now, much less accept, the real me? It wouldn't me as much fun and contenting spending time with one, true friend.

i have lots of friends. some of them are friends with me since early childhood because we grew up and went to the same school together. even if we seldom see each other nowadays, we still keep in touch thru the social networks and we keep undates on each others' lives. we know that whenever one of us needs help, the others wouldn't hesitate to lend a hand. when i came to italy, i also encountered lots of new people here. some have become close friends, others remained acquaintances. i appreciate having known these new friends here. we have get togethers during weekends and holidays and we always talk to each other on the phone. when you're away from your country, communicating and being with your fellow countrymen eases some of the homesickness.

Number of friends doesn't matter, as long as you have them and they are loyal with you. As long as your being true and having understanding with each other. I have lots of friends but I can count on my fingers who is true to me :)

For me, it is important to learn to stand on your own two feet before trying to find out who your true friends are. If anything, it is better and safer to have few friends because you get to talk to each of them more and therefore have closer connections. It is better to have one or two true friends than 50 so-so friends who you just hang with. People assume if you have more friends, you are more popular, but if you watch enough tv, they are only your friends while you are popular, so hold on to your few good friends :)
