[b]Are you conscious if you only have few friends while other people has so many friends? Or do you care about the number of friends at all?
[/b]
I have to admit that before I am having inferior of having few friends and I am about to please them so that I could mingle with the circle of friends. But now I realize that having too many friends is what I don't need but a true friend. No matter if that person is only one but the point is he/she must be a person that I could trust and we must understand each other.

Actually, i don't know for sure how many friends i do have. For one part, i am not sure to what extent close it can be called friend, for another part, i am not sure about which position i am in others' hearts, that is, will they regard me as their friend. And there is another thing to consider, will we call those we know in the workplace or through other means friends, yes, we do talk, smile and sometimes talk with them about your family and private issues, will we call them friend. Then how about the person you get to know through the internet?
I think i am not a person who owns lots of friends, but as most people, i do long for true friendship. I think to own one true friend is much more important than owning lots of fake friends.

I agree the most important thing to value here is the true friendship and you must have meanings for that.

Hi Meta! My circle of friends are only 9. Each of them have different strengths and i am proud to have all of them. Since they have different strengths, i confide to them my problems on where their strengths lie. I can talk to one friend about law, and another on love and another on business and another on spirituality and another on family and another on travel! It is cool! I believe that you dont have to have too many friends. With quantity comes lesser quality.

9 is actually many already. And you are lucky to have those kind of friends with different strengths. At least you know with whom will you talk about your lovelife, travel, law, business and other more. There are times that not all people we can really talk in all category. I mean for example I have a friend who does not want to listen about the problems in lovelife. I respect his decision about it since it is not really his forte to be a listener and advise giver of lovelife.

I agree with you. It's not with how many friends you have but it's how many true friends you have. I admit I am not a really friendly type of person because typically I am a shy type of person. I only have few close friends which I consider as true ones.

I only have 2 close friends. We are actually 4 but unfortunately the 2 of them are failures and hypocrite to us. We can't trust them. The important matter here is that a person must be trustworthy.

I am also doubting if that tons of friends are really helping and true to each other. I only have few friends already but then 2 of them are not my real friends so how much more with the tons of friends right? Now I am only considering 2 close friends.

I don't think so , but I'm conscious because I think that everybody I come across is important but that has me irritated.At this stage I am perfectionistic and selective towards the number of friends I have because there is way too much choice out there , knowing that though there are also different parallel dimensions or possiblities that could have form the friend or friends of this life. It may not matter because only when I disappear do I realize who are my friends are and I'm flexible to say that the rest are "distant" travellers. I care but don't if you understand

I understand your point. Being selective is really normal because you want someone who can trust, understand and accept you as a person despite of the flaws that he/she may have seen.
