Dear friends Mylotters.
I personally am not ashamed at all to openly declare that I, of friends with whom I attend, I have only three!
Exists a saying: "Better a few, but good!", And yes, my friends are good, do not betray to me and do not disappoint me ever.
Let me clarify that I am not just referring to the friends who attend online, either on MyLot that on Facebook, I'm talking about friends that I can see, speak directly, go on vacation with them.
However, I open a parenthesis, however, saying that among the several hundreds of virtual friends on MyLot is that on Facebook, I have never had any problems with them either. In short, also they are true friends!
Almost every night I go home to one of these three to see the TV.
My best friend Angelo (the one that brought me and he will always bring on vacation), he returned recently that he had gone to visit his relatives in high Italy (province of Bergamo).
The third friend, his name is Gabriel, dear one, often to me offered the pizza because he knows that I'm not working, and consequently I do not have much money.
Basically I am very satisfied of these three real-life friends with whom I frequent often, and yet, I have satisfaction also for those distant known in social networks! (these are all of you!)

Friends are important in our lives. It is better to have a few whom we call it true friends than to have many who are not genuine to us 
. I believe true friends are hard to have but at least I have two whom I could depend on. These two are my good friends whom I get to contact with one another often even after years of separation due to work.
However, I am very glad that I do have online friends like here in MyLot 
! I will not be bored as I could come here anytime I want to interact with my friends here. It does keep me occupied here most of the time

Well, your answer, makes me think. In fact, I, I attend virtually more friends online, ie those known on MyLot or Facebook, that the real ones that I can see for live that infuses they are only three. But to me, all things considered, it's okay.

I have one true friend besides my family, I have my 2 sisters who I am very close with but as for just friends, only one. Of course here I have a ton of good friends but offline not so much.
I am okay with it too. I would rather it this way. =)

i am with you. i don't have many friends offline. don't even have to use one hand to count them. mostly, i socialize online on facebook and mylot. that's perfectly fine with me. the less friends you have, the more time you have for yourself and the less drama you will have.

Hey alberello,
i'm really proud of you that you are not ashamed to only have 3 good friends. Like you,i only have a few true friends. In fact, i only have 2 good friends, and 1 that i feel like i can count on her no matter what. I have a good many other friends whom are just normal friends where we hang out together, but not the very close kind.
However, my mum especially likes to make fun of me saying taht i should have more close and good friends. i'm not sure if it is becuase of her or other friends around me that i feel kind of ashamed of it.
From your post, i infer that you are staying together with your good friends?
I met my best friend when i was in polytechnic and during my hard times she was all there for me, giving me support and what not. i'm really glad to have her as a friend. However, now that we are no longer studying together, i'm still trying my best to keep this friendship alive. After reading your post, you've given me the courage and that i should really be proud that i only have 2 really good friends and there is no cause to be ashamed for :) thank you ;)

Well, in the meantime, thank you!
I believe that in life that never ends to surprise us, the friendship is an important thing.
However, in the course of our existence, that we want it or not, we are forced to have to do with people of all tastes. Our task is to learn to accept, perhaps causing them to become our good friends, the only people who deserve just to receive our friendship.
I, since the days of school, then with the work I have met in many faces, but true friends (and I emphasize the word TRUE), I have kept only three, with whom they all ok!

Nothing to be ashamed of it. Good for you that you do have a true friends. As for me,I do have 2 or 3 friends, but I am not open with them. When it comes to family problem, I only share it to few people.

Well, talking about family relationships, I can assure you that I can almost confide better with my few friends that I have, rather than sometimes with members of my family.
However, this is not good, still we must be a united family!

It is always good to have good friends. I do have some good friends and I communicate with them and love to have real friends than lots of friends. I think it is good to have friends who cares.

What does it matter to know many people, but do not even have a true friend?
Better to stay in their footsteps, have few friends but real good!

Even one true friend is far better than a dozen friends who are actually cheats. True friends are those to whom you can freely talk about your troubles and thus lighten your heart. A true friend does not abstain from pointing us in the right direction,when the situation is such.
Wicked friends may very well enjoy with us and laughwith us, but they will also laugh when we fall in crisis. They will lead us into bad habits and never will they take the trouble of pointing us in the right direction.
Be proud of your true friends,even if they be few.

Yes, in fact, I feel lucky to have just three friends, but real friends, real, ready to help! This is important, false friendships, which then can be translated into "knowledges-people", are of little in life!

I have few friends, and lots of acquaintances. Sadly most of my friends have already passed on.

i am happy to hear that you have these three good friends of yours who attended with you in every aspect of your life. to have a friend is great but to admit, few were true and that you can trust upon. i have lots of friend in actual world and some of it are my friends in facebook. but not all of them i shared my life happenings and that i have some friends i bonded with all the time.
so for you, it is okay to have three friends. you can attend them and know them much better.

Well, but also the friends I have on MyLot and on Facebook, I have excellent relations with them.
But speaking of people I know physically attend only three. I do not want to have too many knowledges-people that after all the time they are leaving how they find!
I with these three individuals, am ok!

Hi ! Just like you i got very few friends . I don't like to have lots of friends because i am not fond of parties or hanging out and drinking. I prefer to stay at home and do my 1000 tasks. Friends are gift , i got a soulmate friend , like ordinary friends we fought for small silly things , we cursed each other but at the end of the day , we are still there for each other. I really believed friends are gift from God.

Well, your costume looks a lot like mine. I also prefer to stay at home, or better, stay on my own and not be involved in groups of people.
This is also why I want to keep a special relationship only with the only three friends that I have.

I agree with you that it is really better to have few real friends than having a lot but not really that good enough to be trusted and depended on.

I agree with you that a few true friends are better than a lot of fake ones. As of now I have no close friends, and have almost lost contact with the few who truly cared about me and whom I truly cared about, and I can say that even just one true friend can make my day.

Yes, you right! Sometimes even a single friend, but true, can make us happy!

I don't think there is any reason to be ashamed. I really only have two friends that I can call real friends and that we talk and see each other. I have a couple of other people that occasionally will talk to me on Facebook but that is so rare, and we are not close. I honestly don't call them friends. I don't call them friends to be mean but just because we are not really fiends. My best friend is who I talk to the most, email the most, and see the most.

hi,
You should not be ashamed of that you have only three true friends. I like to make friendship so I have many online and offline friends. But very few of them are my true friends. It is true that better a few but good. Your friends are very helping and caring for you. I wish you will have these friends forever.
