I tend to prefer having just a small group of very close friends rather than a large social circle.

I see merits in having a balance of close friends and a wider network. Gets you the best of both worlds in my view.

That's a reasonable outlook. But isn't it hard to truly be there for tons of people and develop deep bonds?

It can be tough, but varied friends satisfy different social needs. My core group offers closeness while wider circles provide diversity.

I can see the appeal in that dynamic but don't those outer circle connections ever seem superficial to you?

It's a risk, but being intentional helps. I nourish key deeper relationships within the broader network.

That seems like a good strategy. As an introvert, big groups just drain me, i thrive most with soul friend connections

Ain't nothing wrong with that either! As an extrovert i need variety. A few profound bonds still matter most at my core

Maybe we don't need many friends , having one true friend is enough

Real friendship? You're lucky if you find one.

[whitenigger]

Just be a normal guy
You don't need a lot of friends
You don't need friends who have the same interests as you

because its hard to find

just be a friend of all people


don't be the main character of the story

Quality over quantity does seem wise regardless of personality. We all need meaningful connections, however we find them.

Well said, it's about understanding your own social needs and tendencies. No singular right approach fits all.
