which is better? you have few friends or many friends?

For me I prefer to have few but true and close friends. What will you do to a lot of friends if they're attacking you at your back. They're not to be considered friends but enemies. Quality over Quantity! But it would be nice to have a lot of True Friends that you can trust.

i agree with you. i'm not a "counting person" and i am not bothered if i just have 1 or 2 friends in my life. there are friends everywhere... but, u can also get a true friend for a shortest time.. friends have their own concerns too. You cannot have them all the time. but as long as you know they are sincerely concern of you and love to come but unable, then it won't matter. they are still your friends. Although, most said that having many means you are friendly and more people like/love you. it doesn't always have to go that way... you cannot always tell how many will be there for you when you need/want them or give their "back" for you. human nature says that making fiends could mean you either need something from that someone or they do from you. we need to be survivors in this human world. but it is most fulfilling when a person really wants you for no other reason than just wanting to be your friend...:-)

Having a few really good friends is much more important to me than having a bunch of "seasonal" friends, the ones that are there for the time being but don't count on them in the long run. True friends will be there for you no matter what and even if some time has passed since you talked to them, you can see them and get right back to where you were like you just saw them yesterday.

Friends come and go. That is the reality of life. However, SOME friends stay and truly build a long-term relationship with us. That being said, I'd rather have a few TRUE friends rather than many friends who will likely leave me when the next person comes along. I've learned in my life as a young adult that it's better to invest friendships with a few people who truly want your company and will stick with you through thick and thin. Being a social butterfly and thus, having many friends is only good temporarily because it makes you feel popular. However, when the tough times come, how many of these friends will actually stand by you and offer support? It's better to have a few select friends whom you are sure will likely be with you in both good and bad times.
