The More Friends We Have, the Happier We Become?

Hi, it is definitely not true that the more friends we have, the happier we are. Because not all friends all consider good friends, some only will create problems and look for you when they are in trouble. Theres a saying, we do not need to have many friends in our life to be happy, just 1 true friend will be enough.

I have always believed in quality not quantity. If you have a ton of fairwether friends, it doesn't amount to one true friend that will stick with you in times of need. It's really important to have real friends not just many friends. I value my real friends and I feel lucky that I am able to say I have like 5 real friends. the rest of the people I know are either friends or acquaintances. You only need a few real friends to be happy.

Idon't think so,I have less friends,but I live a happy life too,we shouldn't base our happy on our friends,we are ourself,and we have our things to deal,often some things the friends can't help us. And also we don't know which friend are true friend,it is hard to choose.

I don't believe that having MORE friends will make you happier. I believe that it's the quality of the friendships that we have. Not the quantity. Most people, if they were honest, would admit that of all the friends they may have only one or two are REALLY good friends. The others would mostly be considered acquaintances.

I have just a few actual friends and one of them is my husband. Friends are not what makes you happy it is the human connection and the satisfaction and fullfillment that you receive for having that connection in your life. Some people need many friends to fel and understand that and some are happy with a select few to sharfe this bond with.

I believe it depends on how one defines "friends". Some people mistake a casual acquaintance for a friend. It could also depend on one's personality. I myself like meeting new and interesting people, but they don't need to be my friends. It would be nice if we did grow closer to become friends, but just a casual, yet enriching encounter is often enough. Having lots of friends can make you happy, but it does not mean that having only a few won't, especially if your friends are such amazing people, kind and loyal, etc. It really doesn't have anything to do with the number. However, if you do end up with lots of friends, good for you. I guess the important thing is that you always have room for more. :)

I don't think it follows necessarily. I think what matters here is the fact that you are comfortable with them and they are comfortable with you too, not just when things are happy, but also during crisis and some issues. We may have lots of friends around us, but we can't really be ourselves with them. Then that's not friendship, that's more of like acquaintances. Now how do you define your friends? Me? I have a lot, but I couldn't consider all of them as my best friends. Most are just friends who are friends. I mean, we talk, we share experiences, but they're not the ones I want to talk to when I'm sad or lonely or in trouble or something. They're just my happy buddies, or buddies I could share some time with. As for the closest friends, I could only name a few. So, there it is. It doesn't matter how many friends you've got. What matters is how many of them are your close friends. Those whom you can trust and are comfortable to talk with regardless what topic. =)

You should qualify this. The more fulfilling relationships you have, the happier you become. You can't be happy with an unfulfilling relationship so you need less of those to enhance your happiness.

Hi there fellow mylot friend. I believe that the number mustn't be big at all, because if you have many friends, you will never be able to satisfy them all and keep them close - they will mostly turn out to be just pals that in the hour of need are long gone. I think that a couple of good friends are preferably over a dozen of no good pals. If you also have a loved one, the number of friends that you can handle will furthermore reduce to a smaller number, as the day has only 24hours.

i don't think it's a matter of how many friends you have, i think it's the quality of the friendships with the people you call friends. If you have 1 or 2 great friendships, that could be all you need, however some people feel that they need to have a lot of friends, and for them they aren't happy unless they have a lot of friends, but i still stick to the fact that it's the quality not the quantity

I dont believe that if you have more friends you will be happier. For me happiness is a choice and it is not base on how many friends you gain. You might have lots of friend but they were just there for you at times of happiness and not at times when you needed them the most. I have meet people but i dont consider them as a friend. Friends for me are people who knows who i really am and who stand by my side no matter what. I have one bestfriend and several friend and i can say that i am happy with my life. I dont need to have lots of friend inorder for me to be happy.

I don't think that it is the number that counts when it comes to friendship. The more important thing is that your friends are true even if there are just two of them. I am happy having a lot friends, I think I have so many but I can't call them all as my best friends. I think enjoyment of being with them depends on how you spend time with each other. I hope you'll find your new friends in your new place. =)

I do not think we need to have loads of friends to be happy, in fact I have one friend, the rest are family. Being happy is about feeling good about yourself. I think I am fine with only one close friend, but maybe I am different.

Actually friends means 70% to entertain and 30% to involve seriously in one's life. If you watch a entertainment show u will get happiness. Happiness grater than this much u will get when u are with your friends. One cannot be in the thought of being with his/her school friends all through the life. It is not the matter how large group of friends we have but it is the matter of having trusted friends in our life. Because they only give us true happiness and they only care for us sincerely. In that way i have many trustful friends and they will care for me everyday. While building friendship i have founded one thing that our school and childhood friends are more trusted with us. So i advice everyone to have friendship with their school friends forever through networks like mylot, orkut, facebook etc.. If you want to enter to these type of networks just write to me. If you already there sen me a friend request. Let us be good friends. MY MAIL ID manick.aug91@gmail.com

i have no friends and i am not happy.friend can play an important role in your life,they make your life more colorful,especially when you are in difficulity ,real friends can give you timely help and take you out of the mess.i hope i can own some faithful friends!

I'm not really sure about that. Sometime when we have friends that always create problems to me then they are not worth to be happy about. I only have selected few that I can trust to be my best buddy that I can count on when I am down or in some kind of trouble. Here in mylot, I found everybody is worth to be friend because just keep me happy.

hi friends i am agree with your idea about the friends but in my thinking i believe that the happiness is came from the friends. i m believing on quality of friend not on quantity of friend. Prince Sad

Having friends are fun and can also be nightmare. Good friends are hard to find these days so cherish all those buddies that have been loyal to you all these while. I agreed, it's better to have few loyal buddies than having a bunch of hypocrites.

Happy or not is not depends on how many friends you have,it depends on what kind of friends you have.Only real friends care about what you are thinking,why you are not happy.Only real friends will be happy when you are happy and they will make you happy when you are not happy...Even if you have only one real friend,you are a lucky guy.

It's an achievement to make a thousand friends in a lifetime... Yet... The real achievement is to keep a friend... for a lifetime... Happiness does not really depend on the number of friends you have, what's important is for you to have a "REAL FRIEND." No matter where this crazy world takes you, nothing will change, your real friend will forever be your friend!
