Would you rather have many friends or just a few genuine and sincere friends?

It's definitely better to have a few good friends rather than thousands on your Facebook:) I think it's practically impossible to have lots of genuine friends. By the way, only difficult life situations will show you how many good friends you really have.

I have just started a topic almost same like this. Anyway, I would rather have a few friends, maybe one true friend is enough than having a battalion but half of them are not real. It's hard to deal with pretenders and cheating friends. It hurts when a close friend whom we have given love,care and attention soon reveal it's real intention. We cannot avoid friends who cheats, betrays and it give us a good lesson to learn.

I have actually limited my friends to very few good ones. I think we all go through the stage of wanting a ton of friends but that was before I knew what that really meant. There are some people out there that have been lucky enough to be able to surround themselves with great people. I definitely think that is a great and wonderful thing, but I have not had that same luck, so I decided to be very selective about the people I let close to me in my life.

hi, i could say that i would like to have many friends rather than a few genuine and sincere friends,it because its up to them what are their purpose why they be friend to me,and aside from that its really hard to find a real one friend now a days because people are really new.

I only have one person whom I can consider a friend with capital letters. But I'm content with that. I need a person whom I can talk about everything, my innermost feelings and secrets with, and whom I can confide in. OK, sometimes it can be a bit of a pity if I wanna go out, but she doesn't have the time, and I have no other people to call, but it isn't the most important thing. I wouldn't exchange for thousands of buddies for whom I'm only important as long as I go to parties with them.

I would rather have few genuine friends because at the end of the day if you have problems or something to say you will certainly go to your true friends and not go to all of your 'friends' and besides true friends are really the hard ones to find so keeping a few of them is what will i prefer over having many friends who doesnt really care about me at all

Lemme guess, you are an introvert... I feel the same way, but extroverts don't think the same as introverts - they have to have lots of external stimulation and that's why they need lots of "friends."

I don't think that life is about having as many friends as possible. i like to only have a few friends that are loyal and caring and there when you need them.

I'd have to say a few genuine friends because that way I know I could trust them, they'd be there when I need them and also be true friends.
