i think that both can be true. having a lot of friends can be good as you can turn to them when you are in need and i believe the more friends one has the more wealthy a person is. It can also be bad as you are not able to be in touch with all your friends which can sometimes create problems if your friends do not understand. i would go with less friends but good friends

You can have alot of friends but couple close ones. Having a lot of friends are good because you do not know if you are in a crisis which one of them will assist you. Sometimes you have someone who you just talk with, while you have a close friend who you do everything with. But when you need help it is the one you have has a friend who assist you and the close on is not where to be found. Then you ask yourself were is my close friend when I need him/her the most. So I would tell you to have as many friends that you can in your circle.![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

Well I think there is friends and then there are special friends, it is good to have as many friends as possible but there will only be a few of them that will be true friends, people can be lucky even just a couple of truly good friends in a life time...if you are lucky

You can have a lot of friends and it's good. But only few of them can be your true friends. You see, I have a lot of friends, but there's only several of them whom I can tell everything or turn to in difficult situation. For me it's better to have few friends, but real ones.

You can never have to many friends but they aren't all true friends, I was always told that you can only count your true friends on one hand! I've got quite a lot of friends but I wouldn't be able to phone them all in the middle of the night if I had a problem! :-)

Actually its not that bad. As long as they are not into bad habits or into illegal stuff. Having a lot of friends means your a nice person easy to go along with. But be weary not all of them are really true friends so start picking up the right friends.

Hi muralirv. I think it depends on the friends. There is a difference between friends and acquaintances. You would be amused to see some of the quotes on the answers .com website I used when I checked my spelling for acquaintance.

Your true friends should be the ones you hold near and dear to you and whom you can trust, but you can still call an acquaintance a friend too. Just try to remember the difference between the two when making the choices life brings you.
