Less friends is a sign of quality?

you maybe right about that "desperate" part. some people don't really want to have fiends. what they are after is the popularity that goes with it, either with their "fiends" or the observers. take a look at the social sites. they may have a lot of people in their friends' list, but do they really know all of them? i don't think so. for most, that is.

i totally agree with you. It totally means that you are careful in selecting only a few and quality,genuine friends who are there for you all time. That is the best and ideal way to have friends like me

I am much like you, I have a very small circle of close friends and that is definitely what works the best for me. You see, I can count all of the true friends that I have on one hand. With only having a few very close friends in your life, I find that there is a lot less drama in your life. In addition to that, your friends are people that really do know you instead of people that you can't really depend on in your times of need.

Well i completely agree when you want to make a few awesome friends that stick to you for life and not a whole bunch who disperse with the wind. But I have always liked it better when i get to choose my gems from the pile. This gives me a chance to know them all and even the outward show can teach you a lot about them. Some can't live without the crowd, they are usually very lonely from inside, trying to forget it by going on a wild spree of friendship. But as they fade away he finds him lonelier than before.

There are friends and then there are acquaintances. As everybody out there does I have both. I've been around awhile and had to work, so of course, I know a lot of people. The majority of them I consider acquaintances. Acquaintances are just people that you can talk to or hang out with, but you don't count on them for anything. Along the way I have made some very good friends. Some friends have been with me a long time, some not so long. Some people who I consider 'good' friends have come and gone in my life, and that's OK. At the time they were very good to me. I my experience, there's always been somebody in this category. Somebody I'll see every day and feel very close to, but when they either change jobs or move away even though you try, you do slowly lose touch. And of course, there's friends I will have for life. Sometimes I think of them as a member of our family. I'll attend their parties, and they'll call from time to time, but I always know if I needed them, they would be there for me. Anybody who tries to push this process is fooling themselves. These relationships are built naturally and can't be forced.

Yes, I agree 2 less friends now. I thought, that I had friends. Every sense I've started making handmade jewelry 8 years ago.I have seen less and less of my so call friends. I had a jewelry party I year at my home. I envited all my friends and famiky members.and all my facebook friends to. Only 5 came.out of 50 of them. Now I only have 2 friends god and my husband.every 1 I no is so jealous. That I get no support from any of them. Who needs friends.not me.I'm just fine without them.

i met friends everywhere i go and no enemy that i'm aware of but i only have three friends who i call real friends come what may. we don't live near each other now and sometimes had to personally met twice or thrice a year only but we manage to keep in touch and updated with each other's life.

same here pandora. i got only few true friends whom i can tell my secrets. My true friends are the one i can talk with comfortably and without pretensions. it's useless to have hundred friends who can't empathy with you truely in times of sadness.. I think they are only more in your happy moments.

I think it depends on the person what is considered as a best friend. To be honest I don't think I have a best friend except for my kids. I once talked about that with one of my daughters. When do you consider someone as your best friend? I am close to some people, I can tell them everything if it comes to it, they do take care of my (little) kids and offer help. I do the same (or even more) for them.. how come I still don't consider them as my best friend?

You'd know that you have no friend at all if you find yourself browsing through your long list of friends in your phone book and wondering who can you talk to whenever you feel like talking with someone. Quantity isn't that important, the most important thing is that you knew who to find at the right time and at the right place. However, quantity is quite important if you need a network for your business. So by having a long list of "friends" is not a bad thing at all as long as you know who your "real friends" are.

I know hundreds of people but I'm friends with a few. I have to agree with you on how people just refer to the bunch of people they have as friends when in fact they are far from the true meaning of what a friend is. Some people just want to feel popular or they feel more appreciated if they are with many "friends".

I don't really wish for me to have a lot of friends. I just have to keep some and they must be the true ones. Not all people that I meet are considered as friends. Some of them just go and passes by in my life. Like what I had experienced in college. I know a lot of my classmates, they approach me and I approach them back but it doesn't mean that we're friends. Then I realized that when I graduated, I just made 3 friends since then. They are my friends until now. From a lot of people that I knew before, I just had 3 of them that really lasts. :) I'll treasure them forever. And yes, I agree with you when you said that it is so impossible to be honest with hundreds of friends. Like. Hello???? Duh! Haha. Thanks
