Do you think it is better to have a bunch of friends or a bunch of aquaintces (idk how to spell it) and like 2 or 3 best friends. I think it is to have 2 or 3 best friends. Any thoughts?

I'd rather have a few true friends than a bunch of acquaintances. True friends tell you things that you ought to know whether you like it or not, are there when you need them, respect your points of view, make you laugh or smile when you feel down and out, and a lot more. I hope you have true friends too. Have a nice day!

I think one should make more friends because the world is big and there are too many things to do.Everyday you have a different idea,we need friends.also,several best friends are necessary.

I guess, but then you'll never really have those best friends that always have your back. Don't get me wrong you can have other friends but I mean like 2 really good friends.

I think after being let down by a couple of special friends in my life that I guess I depended on too much I am now thinking maybe having a lot of aquaintences is better or many friends rather just counting a few as friends, when a good friend cheats on you oone never quite gets over that...

Well, they aren't really your friends. You can have best friends meaning that you always see each other and go to movies and stuff. But they aren't really true friends that you know will do nothing in their power to hurt you.

I think it's better to have only a few close friends and many people whom you are friendly with, but are not really close friends. I know for me, it's hard for me to be intensely attached to a lot of people at one time. That doesn't mean that I don't like the other people in my life, I'm not not emotionally attached to them.

I'm the type to have a couple of really good friends and a bunch of acquaintences(i cant spell that word either lol). There are a few i trust with everything about me and others just seem to come and go out of my life.
