I can't deny for myself that in this early 20's of mine, lesser friends come my way. I have a simple personality, a little bit introvert but can become extrovert if necessary. And I keep asking my self day by day, where are the friends I have these past years - in elementary and high school, college is just recent and I still have them... I believe the lack of resources especially financial advantage is an attraction to getting more friends. Honestly, I don't have that avenue, so in searching for true friends, what do you think are to be done?

I think that you can not have 100 real friends. For to call person a real friend it means that i`m ready to do everithing for this friend and he is ready to do the same for me. I also had the same question in my mind a year ago, where are all my "friends" from highschool and the elementary school. The simple answer is that there are many people that we call friends, but not of them are our real friends exactly. I have three real friends and i love them like a part of my family and i`m sure i can rely on them all the time and i realise now that i don`t need anymore real friends. The other people that i know are a good buddies, but not friends in the meaning of this word for me. When we are little we say that we have a lot of friends, but you will see the real friendship just when you grow up a little. I know two of my best friends for fourteen years now and the third one for seven and i`m sure that our friendship will be forever.
