Lots of friends. Or, just a few? What suits you?

Some people like to have a wide social network spanning far and wide.

Others like just a handful of intimate relationships, where more time can be spent really getting to know those few people.

What style suits you most?

Just a few close, true, trustworthy friends is what matters. 🙂

Just a few is good for me.
I'm no social butterfly. 🙂

I prefer a small number of intimate friends.

Quality over quantity. Going to events with a bunch of people might be good for just those things, but more intimate relationships with smaller numbers of people fulfill me more.

Although I can talk to strangers standing in a line somewhere, I prefer fewer but closer when it comes to actual friends

The more friends the better I think now. But I focus on quality, not quanity.

One true friend is enough.

I think you can have lots of acquaintances, but not lots of friends. How do you define a friend? I'd say a friend is somebody that''ll watch out for ya while you take a piss in the alley. Somebody that'll take ya to the airport. Someone who will listen to you piss and moan and order two more pints. But, hey, that's just me.

A few close inner circle friend's then acquaintances

I tend to be misanthropic, so just a few friends.

A few very close friends has always been my preference. I enjoy one on one time with them and when you have a huge social network, your time is stretched too thin between other matters and so you never get enough time with each person. Some people can maybe juggle that or they have a ton of friends that they get together with every so often, but for me personally I couldn't imagine having more than a handful of individuals that know me well and that I, in turn, truly know.

Gone from lotsof friends who don't know each other to a few close ones: 6- 20-40 years.

I have 1 male friend and 1 female friend and sometimes I feel that is too many.

I have fewer friends than most hermits do.

Just a few close friends, I don't know that many people that I could trust that much.
