"I certainly do not have a lot of Friends but I am fine"

I understand about it. It is not easy to be betrayed by friends,especially if you trusted them. I was never been betrayed by a friend,and i love my friends like a family,so i could just imagine how does it hurts. I hope no one will betray me either. I've seen few good friendship that breaks becoz of betrayal,so sad. I hope you had forgiven your friend,and,you must be thankful also becoz,you have known her before it is too late. Have a great weekend ahead

I think it's better to have few friends, the trusted ones. Than having many friends, but in the end abuses your friendship. True friends are very hard to find.

Friends are the mirrors of yourself. They give you the best reflection of who you are. It is not the quantity of friends that matters, but the quality of friends you have.

i have a lot of friends and i am not fine. so you see having a lot of them can be trouble too.

easy come easy go.. do little effort before you consider people you know as a friend

having few friends isn't a bad thing if you are ok with it...but its also nice to have many friends to keep you company when you are down....you know especially good friends they are the ones who sticks when the going gets tough...as for me i would rather have few good friends than have many friends that don't even remember me or bother to call from time to time...

From the very begging i believe on quality instead of quantity. You have joined this thought after some mishap but i want to tell you that this is good way to live your life. Choose wisely and be friends forever. I have only 2 friends in my life but both of them are always with me in my hard times and me too for them. So go for quality instead of quantity.

It is OK. After all, the quality is much more important than the quantity. Friends in need is friends indeed. I also won't have many good friends, but it is fine. Because I don't want to spend much time for the people who are not important for me. I love China

There have been many friends in my lifetime; "A friend in need is a friend indeed." A very wise man (and a great friend no longer with us) once told me, if you make one true friend in your lifetime, you are a very lucky person. The best introduction for anyone is as 'an acquaintance' . Many betrayals have led to nothing but mistrust for all. I have but 'one good friend.'

Eighteen months ago, my husband had a stroke and sustained a traumatic brain injury as a result. It was a life changing experience. While he has made dramatic improvements, he will probably never recover to live the life that he had before he got sick. Believe me, I learned who my true friends are. I learned that most of my friends really weren't friends at all. Today, I look for quality rather than quantity. I only call someone my friend when I am confident that they will give as much to the relationship as I give to my relationships.

I must admit I have had my share of encounters with betraying friends. But I still talk to them but what I do is I take them off my friends list and put them on my associates list. Associates are persons that you interact with quite regularly but they do not fit the friend criteria. You laugh with them and talk with them, but mostly the topics will be light and non threatening. You wouldn't tell you deepest darkest secret to an associate would you? If the relationship grows into more than just associates that is you have grown very close, almost friends then be the best friend that you can be.

I believe there should be less number of friends but should be trustworthy.I dont think so there is point in keeping freindship in quantity and not quality.I guess we must choose the right person and must do friendship with only who is worth our friendship.I think nowadays everyone is full of jealousy and malice for each others and no one wants to see anyone successful.So its better to enjoy life on our own without keeing too many friends and intimacy with anyone.We should enjoy with our spouse and family members because they are the ones whom we can trust rest keeping more and more friends results into nothing.You never know when people break your trust and betray you.

hmm i never betrayed but some of my friends will see that im a little bit strange because im a active kid so i like to run in class,but i think the friend who betrayed you just thought that it's only the experiences and dont be sad because you will get a new friend and better than before

I have many friends, I also have friends you betrayed me sometime, I will get angry but forget on time. I never let this thing ruined my life. Life is to short to live and having many friend as possible is one the best thing you can do in life. They can give you inspiration as well as desperation in life. Gain friends because you will never know when you really need a good friend.

I too do not have a lot of friends as i too have been betrayed by several friends in the past but my family members still say that the more the friends the more the happiness i certainly do not agree with them. Even if one has just a couple of friends who are honest its OK.

Somebody once told me that the "chracter of a man is determined by how far he's willing to go for a person who can obviously do nothing for him in return". I try to remember that when I'm considering someone as a friend. I don't have a lot of friends but ones I have are very important to me. I can count with one hand how many "friends" I have and have few fingers leftover.

I understand about it. It is not easy to be betrayed by friends,especially if you trusted them. I was never been betrayed by a friend,and i love my friends like a family,so i could just imagine how does it hurts. I hope no one will betray me either.

I do have alot of friends made during my work. As I'm holding multiple jobs at the moment, it's not difficult for me to make new friends because of the interactions. But at the same time of making new friends, I'm losing some of them too. As some mylotters know, I'm heavily in debt thus I'm working alot. With work being my priority, I have no choice but to skip gatherings, outings as well as meals with them. Therefore over time, I'm drifting away from my friends and I regret it. It's not that I want many friends in my life, only a few will do. I hope they won't blame me if ever they know the true reason behind my absence.

Indeed not all of our friends are true friends. I have lots of friends but I only have a very few true friends who knows my strengths and weakness and all my life's victorious and failing moments. Your bad experience with your previous friend should not hinder you from making new friends again because indeed no man is an island and we are all capable of gaining friends. Your previous experience should serve as a lesson learned about putting your trust to your friends. Maybe this time you need to be more cautious. God bless!

Sometimes all you have to do is to release those emotions out by telling somebody about something negative that happened to you. This way you will feel relaxed. That somebody may be the community here in myLot.
