friends, in number

The number of friends and the quality of friends are both very different. You can have hundreds of friends but if you ever got into any trouble none of them would be there to back you up. The number of friends someone has means nothing. It is better to have a few close friends then to have a lot of friends. Personally I have many friends but among those friends I have the few that I am close to. Those few are my true friends and the others are just people I am friendly with and hang around often.

If someone has ten friends they are always around there is a good chance that most of them aren’t close friends with them. If someone else has one really close friend then they know who their true friend is. Others view this situation differently but having one close friend is better then having ten friends. A close friend is different then just a friend. A close friend is someone who you can tell anything to and trust. They will always have your back and be by your side. Your regular friends are not the same. Your regular friends are just people you enjoy hanging out with and being around not someone you can always depend on.

I know certain people who have hundreds of friends and then other who just have a few. Personally I don’t think the person with a few friends is going to be happier then the person with a hundred and vise versa. If the person with a hundred friends has a few close friends within those friends then I think the person with a hundred friends and few close friends is happier than the person with just a few close friends. If the person with a hundred friends has those friends just for attention and has no really close friends then in the end the person with a few friends will be much happier.

Some people have so many friends because they like the attention. They always like to be surrounded by many people who adore them. They want to feel important so they constantly have people around them. I feel this is false. Although they feel important and love the attention deep down they feel something is missing. That something is someone they can turn to when needed.

Even though some people have hundreds of friends some people focus on a few close friends. These people are happy because they have that person to lean on. Although they have a great friend they fell as if they should have more. They want to be like the individual who has hundreds of friends. The best thing to do is to have a balance of both. Someone should be very friendly and have hundreds of friends but also have those few close ones.
