In a huge number of friends in one group are you all close to each other?

There are times when I'm with my group of friends where an individual is not in good terms with the other. This is a usual thing that could happen in a group, and if the effect gets worse, it could lead to the separation of the group. Most of the times though, we do not concentrate on a problem of a friend, usually one of them will just be in good terms again. I could say that not everyone in the group is close to each other but when we unite as a team, our bonds get stronger and most of the times, our anger towards one another could vanish. Also, if one of our members need help, they are always saying it out. So that he does not have to keep it to himself.

Nice topic Meta! In our gang, we are 13 friends; but i am really close to 4 only. I hang often with the top 2. But all 4 know what is inside my heart and true feelings. I confide to them my deepest secrets and heartaches about family and other stuff. For a group of friends which are more than five, expect that there would be inner groups of friends. We cannot get too close to each and everyone. No one gets out of place.

This is not possible everyone friend can be best or close friend. Like not possible every girl may be your wife. In my college life we are also 11 friends 5 girls and 6 boys we all were enjoying in canteen all are help to each other in study and do the study in group but only one or two friend may be closed. In our group 2 girls and 2 boys get love marriage. One is Sheetal and prashant and other bhagyashri and shailesh.

It really depends on what kind of friendship the groups have planted.

I am in a group of friends the way it works for us is this: One or two people are the ones who sort of brought the group together, the leaders and they are the ones who value each person. The others are close to one or two people of the group, mostly the "leaders." And they might not like other members at all, but they still are friendly with them for the sake of the leaders. It is actually the leaders who seem to need the group the most, while the others don't really care much about the group.

I do have a lot of circle of friends, but the one closest to me are composed of four people, one of which is a boy. We have no problems with it, we encouraged everyone to be open with their feelings so we would know if were neglecting a friend or if someone has a problem we really encourage him or her to open up especially on instances when we can help, we trust one another :) i think that is the secret to long-lasting relationships :)

unfortunately i never fared well in big groups. i only have a very small circle of friends. in rare occasions where i find myself in a huge gathering of acquaintances, i usually find myself either chatting up just one person with whom i will be closest to. Or i will be the loner and the odd one among the group.

There are those that claim that in their group all of them are actually close but for me I think that not all of in a group of friends are equally close to each other. There are some that are closer to a certain individual. And as a group they are good together but the actual closeness is between the different individuals in the group. For me I can be in a group of friends but I am not close to all of them like my closeness to my best friend. It is like when we are all together we're fine but when I really have a big problem or secret I usually just share it to the people I am truly close in the group.

We're 11 all in all and we're all close to each other. We make other friends outside the group but when we're together, we're like a very solid, unmoveable rock. It's like having a lot of brothers outside the family. There are some people, though, that tend to pick people out of the group. I get them, they choose their friends and I somehow understand why. I, too, most of the time do that not because I'm a social climber or anything, I hangout just great with broke fellas. I pick my friends because when you're in a group, there's this phenomenon that happens when you don't know what you're doing, bad or good, anymore and I'm staying away from that. When you're in a very large group of friends, there's this some kind of norm that forms. If you don't follow that norm, you'll be out of place, I know you know that term, and no one wants to be out of place. I'd rather stay away from those group of people instead of hanging out with them and at the same time keeping my principles intact, which is hard to do when the norm pressures you to break them. I hate that kind of pressure because I always like to be myself, it's easier than being someone else.

Unfortunately I had a group of friends before but one or two were good friends. But that I realized after one girl entered in the group. Some friends changed behavior and /or attitude. Then I began to see the real faces of my friends. Some betrayed me by mouthing at my back and others stole one precious guy in my life. Imagine.. It was very terrible. But i have to move on! I am happy with my husband now.

hi, having a lot of friends,yes its nice and good,but sometimes we cant avoid to be close by some of them,in a huge of friends,i could say that i have some friends that not really close to me or i am not close to him/her.
