How many people actually have real friends? It seems that real friends are hard to come by nowadays. I only have two real friends plus my family. How come most other people pretend to be so real and such a good friend but have to ask you for a favor every time they speak to you?

hi buddy..this is a very materialistic world nowadays. you have to be literally on your toes to survive. very minimal margin of error. very low faith. so, the lower the number of friends, the better..the quality of friends matters after all, not the quantity.

Thanks for the reply chikurocks. What you said is completely true. I think it's better to have less friends as well. I mean with a lot of friends, you can get in some trouble when you are out partying or drinking. When you have enemies, your friends are friends with your enemies and instigate things, so I couldn't call that a friend at all. We need some real friends nowadays.

i am blessed with having three best friends... my mother... without my mother i wouldnt be here and i wouldnt be the person that i am... thanx mom... my hubby... he is the greatest man there ever was and the best father you could think of... i wouldnt trade him for all the money in the world....i love you baby... and my Stephers... she is the only person i still talk to from high school... we live about 3000 miles away from each other but i still feel as if she is right here with me... she was there for me when i lost my baby and what more could a friend ask for then the bestest friend in the whole wide world... love ya girl... i think that if you find one true friend in your whole life then you can consider yourself a lucky person... of course i have three so i am very blessed as i stated before... you can always tell a real friend... they are the ones that will be there for you through thick and thin... no matter what the situation... and they dont come around only when they need something from you... and do things to help you and dont expect anything in return... they can always be called on... now thats a real friend... thanx again Stephers... your the best...

I think many of us only have a few real friends. The reason is that true friendships take time and sacrifice to form. The simple fact that we can't go around sacrificing our time, money and emotional well being on a whole lot of people. I also only have 2 real friends and family. I actually like it that way. I used to keep a large circle of friends in my younger days. And everyone would call when they needed help with Moving, or Bail Money, Or a ride to the airport. This becomes too much to handle. I think the only smart thing is to keep a few close friends and keep everyone else at a distance. This is my view on the subject.
