Now that I've seen your answers, perhaps I should also say what I think about this: I think we should have a balance between our best friends, and the ones we simply know and hang out with.. Don't expect too much from your aquintances, don't count on them cause we might be disappointed some day, and know who your best friends are, accept them the way they are.

Personally, I know lots and lots of people, cause I am very sociable, but I only have 2 good friends: my boyfriend, and this girl I've known since the first grade - basically, we grew up together, we're like family.
