Recently, I realized that I have very few friends. There are no more than three of them. However, I often see people who have a lot of friends, and sometimes I begin to feel somehow impaired. What do you think? Do you have a lot of friends?

As you get older, and as you develop beliefs and habits, you will lose friends.

I have two people I still talk to from when I was young - the rest come and go, sometimes for years at a time, as my situations change.

I also have few friends. It seems to me that there can not be many real friends.

No, this is not because of beliefs and habits but because of life.
Why we feel that we are more older and fewer friends, because the more older we have more responsibility for family and job, and the more we care about our own interests, so we can’t be as unscrupulous as we were when we were young.
In addition, as we get older, our minds become more mature (alert), and we won't expose our minds easily as we did when we were young, so some former friends will think that you become cunning, the same, you will also have the same opinion on them.
For example, when someone invites you to play something you have never played, if you are young, you will first ask: Is it fun?  But now you will ask first: Is it risky?
This is the reason.

I agree with you. True friends are always few. I have one at all.

Get out of the computer and search for some friends. You should not live in loneliness ... Trust me  :D

It's okay to have few friends, as long as they can be called "real" friends.

Now, for the time being, I cannot say that I have at least one true friend who can support. And I'm still happy. The quantity gives nothing. If there is at least one friend is good

When I was in my younger years, I've so many friends. But as I go older and wiser, I've realized that I only have few friends left.  ??? ::)

Friends who will listen to every crazy things you have in mind, who will tell you your flaws and the one who will always be there whenever you needed them the most.

Depends on your personality. I, for examply, don`t really need to keep in touch with a lot of people and have like 2-3 friends and I can be sure that if I need any help - they will.

In my opinion, it is not quantity of friends that is important, it is the quality of the friendship

It is not the number of friends you have, it is about the quality.  You want to surround yourself with people who are going in the same direction and bring positivity to your life. 

I have never lost a friend even when they move to another place. Why? because I always take the first step and call them or text them or both. Don't be afraid or ashamed of taking the first step and communicate with your old friends. They might  want the same thing and hang out with you too

Having many friends is the best thing that can happen to a person , i have friends that i have long to bond , and just a few of them are real for me , because its nice to have few friends that are true to you and can help you in times of difficulties rather than having a lot of friends that cannot be trusted and talking to your back when you are not with them. For me a true friends is my family ,few of them but they are true to me.

Hello

I do not have many friends, and I do nor worry about this anytime. It is okay. For me friends are people to whom I can open my soul, tell them anything, feel comfortable with them. And do you think that the number of such people should be big? I don' think so. Usually, these people are very alike to us, and there can't be many people on this planet. so, don't worry, that absolutely normal, and I would say, that it is good. Better have 1 the closets person, then 100 that don't worth to you anything.

I think it`s absolutely normal. You do not have to A LOT OF friend. If you feel yourself good, why do you have fing someone else? I have 3 close friends, but i can go for a walk with others and it`s okey.  ;)

I don't have a lot of friends, but I have a lot of acquaintances. My best friends are the ones I can rely on and there are only 3 persons in the world I can believe and rely

I think that real friends are very difficult to find and therefore there are really few of them. I have three friends and they are like family for me.  not quantity but quality of friends is important.

Actually it's not thathard to make friends as you may think
1 common hobby, 1 common taste and even 1 common awkward sittuation and you have all the tools to make friends.

having a lot of friends doesn't mean that you are supposed to be bfs with all of them, but they are usually ready to hang out with you

I’m a very introverted person, and I find it hard to talk to lots of people, so only having a few friends works for me. Plus, I’m really close with all my friends and I know they’ll always be there for me no matter what. So I’m pretty happy with my current friends, which is part of the reason why I don’t have more.

Friends I think you can count on my hands and I have fingers, I have many known, and anyone has many acquaintances, select your friends well, as only a good friend recognizes and appreciates that feeling of friendship. Caution with that. ;)

I think it is not about how many people you know, but "who you know". Quality over quantity. Many people have thousands of friends in social media but very few of those really know them. And you don't really need many friends trust me. With few people you have, your friendship is more exclusive and issues between you are far more easier to resolve compared to other friendships out there.

I have some friends that I only meet online but I can say that what we have is real and precious. Besides the number, the place where you meet doesn't also matter as long as you guys treat each other as true friends.

Thanks for reminding me! I almost forgot that I also meet some people while playing online gambling (https://to.crwd.cr/cm). Those guys have their own issues but I'm confident to say that we are true friends. Guess that you always found someone anywhere and you are never alone. I hope everyone can have that someone that can help them, assure them, and be with them even in their darkest times.

I think you just have to value what you have ,
I mean yeah you could say that they have a lot of friends but are all of their friends real or loyal to them?
It is better to have a few friends specially if they are truthful and loyal to you,unlike those who have tons of friends but most of them are backstabing each other.
I would choose to stick around with just a few friends as long as we are happy and doesn't backstab each other,rather than being with so many people but being fake to you.
Quality over quantity.

I had many friends, but I have only one friend because the rest are all liars.
This is best for me to stay with one friend.

Friends are very important, try with some friends to practice some sport, it can be the Gym and form a circle of people different than always, friends are hard to find, but if the idea is that the partners are the idea , You do different activities so you do not feel that way.

Having few friends is okay as long as they are your real friends. Some have so many friends but not all of them are loyal. Others are only there for your money, they can betray you, stab you on the back. True friends are real treasures in our lives.

It depends but some people see friends as people they have affection and can rely on, some define friends as connections or someone that they know and once meet/introduced. I think both are important. If you want to make new friends try to go out socializing or go to some meetup events. There's some community dedicated to hobby/interest that you can join, usually they will welcome new members because they want to grow as well.

This will depend on our attitude and on how do we consider friendship

I have lots of friends but I only have few close friends that i can share secrets in which I consider as best friends

But those others are there for comradeship and some are playing habits.since our place is friendly and most of people come to talk each others whenever given a time

No you shouldn't compare them or yourself to other people that have many good friends. Finding a real friend today is very challenging and they are really rare. You are lucky to have a few and a good friend. Just remember to be good also to them.

I had a lot of friends when I was in school. When I became a university, I have a lot of friends, I currently have 3 friends
It is not important to have a lot of friends. It is important to be happy with their friendship

I have a lot of friends because if you are students everyear you will meet new people and those classmates will be your friends. But the question with is all my friends are true to me? And I think no because  I have friend who backstob me when I was not there and my true friends tell me that. It's better to have only few friends as long as you all true and you love your each other as true siblings.

My friends are my wife and children.  They are the one that has stayed with me in both of my down time and up time.  I have received some significant lesson from many of the people I called friends in the past and I now preferred to keep to myself.

Number of friends doesn't define the true friendship,if you have at least one person who can be with you all the time or your happiness and sorrow then you made a friend.

It doesn't matter how many friends you have the only thing matter is,is they are real friends.

Quality over quantity, my friend.
Unless you're very extroverted, there's no reason to "hoard" friends.
Generally, people tend to have less friends as they grow older, so make them count.

You can have many friends but often only a few are very good, real friends.
When everything goes well in life then we have a lot of friends, but when we go through difficult times only a very good friends stay with us.
So, doesn't matter if yiou have only 2-3 or 100 friends.
Only important is to have at least one real, true, very good friend who stay with you until the end.

You shouldn't feel bad at least you know that your friends are true to you.
Those people who have so many friends don't even know whos true and loyal to them.
Just because they have many people who hang out or close to them doesn't mean that their true friends .
There are people who would only be close to you because they need you or could use you.

 I have only one friend, so what?

We came alone and will go alone. friends enemies all same these days.

i don't think that many friends are needed but only some real friends of those who would put their hand in the fire for you, i have many acquaintances but only a few true / sincere friends, if you want to make new friends you have to leave the house to go to the gym or in some pub, social network friends are not real friends...

I too have noticed this but I think as we age we start to realize who our closest friends are. Those that are the most loyal and will be friends for life versus just acquaintances. Those people come and go 

I have few but quality friends too. I'm okay with it.

If you have a lot of friends it's just time to realize that is not true  :D
It's ok mate!

When you mature, you lose friends, because obviously, you have limited time to talk to them. I also have few friends because I move in a new place and most of my friends is left in my old neighbourhood.

Although I find new friends, in work and in my new place, they just come and go. I guess it's part of life as well, some may have a lot of friends, but will they be there when you needed them?

I have a lot of friends but I can count the real and true ones. Don't get jealous when you see someone who has a lot of friends, it's better to have few friends that are loyal, true and prank to you than having a lot of them but they'll come to you because you had something beneficial to offer to them. And real friends stay, whether you get a job, you get and start a family, nothing will change. Unlike those friends that just came by and knows you when you had something, you can't expect them in the times of need.

This is the really important thing. Having good friends and loving you is the most important thing. It is not important to have many friends and cheaters. Will not benefit them in thing

I believe that the more friends a person has, the worst

Yep, more "friends" ='s more drama and unnecessary b.s. You should be able to count your true friends on one hand.

How do you decide whether it is a friend or an acquaintance?

Yes I agree with you, However, I loved being alone since childhood, except for 2-3 people who used to mix them all badly, Most of the people in our area were rich so they could not mix them all.

It doesn't always have to be that way though. You can have more friends all you want but just don't expect them to be reciprocating the kind of friendship you offer. Some are acquiantances, some are plain friends and some you can trust with your life. That's how i see it. I don't expect a lot from many people i consider friends and i'd prefer they don't expect a lot from me as well.

I know a lot of people, and many people know me. But I think "friends" is a weighty word. Not everyone in a lot of people can be defined as friends, true friends. Not as fragile as a plastic flower.

Friends are different from Best friend because there are lots of friend that may come and go but Best friend is only ones in a lifetime

So.maybe what you are saying is the best and not just a friend

Friends are important in anyone's life because there been only helpful for me to get rid of difficult situation in any time so if you have a good friends then the success of you will be very very simple because they were been very helpful for you to stay for long time with any difficult situation.

When we are young, we are all subject to the same interests in education.  When we mature our interests and beliefs differ, and we lose touch.

There is a way to make friends, no matter the age, you can do it by practicing some sport, because there are many people who do it and you can take advantage of starting to talk with new people, whether it is jogging, or going to the Gym, soccer all the Life has opened many doors for me with many people.

Little by little you can go making friends, another way is doing training or face-to-face courses, you will necessarily have to see new faces, and you will have to interact in some way, although many people do not, if you are shy you should make an effort not to be so that they come to you, a very good way to make friends, is being kind to others. And to get to know a person or people well is inviting them to drink some beers, I think that at that moment the confidence increases when they have around 5 beers.

I also have many friends.it seems to me that it's hard to find friends who are really kind to me. ;D ;D

True, people come and go, not all stays with us because sometimes our places became different as time goes by and not all the time your friends are all free at the same time. I also have some few friends that is not already with me now because we already have different places now. Still hoping to have reunions and bond with them again when theres a perfect time. The truth now is, I dont have friends with me now but I have my family with me.

Yes I agree. I have some friends too but I can say that they are the really friends for me. They are true. Actually, it is easy to find a real friend or we should say the kind one. If you are having trouble or having a problem call them and you'll see who really is your friend.

Friends and family are they important stand for person in his life it is like the two eyes in your body if anything problem in your life they will get the problem to be solved easily for you without any problems that is the help given by them for my life.
