Which is best--a few longterm friendships or many short term ones?

i don't have too many friends. it just creates confusion on me. plus i want to manage my time with my friends and family... so, i'd rather keep my list of friends short... i keep friends close to me.. those who are worth of my attention. i keep those who are true and loyal and trustworthy.

i would prefer a few long-term friendships because on them, you can really have a true and honest friends that you can lean on in times of troubles and problems. a true friend is one that will be there for you through thick and thin, in good times and in bad times and one that will stand through the test of time^^
