Default More or less friends?

Do you prefer having very good friends, even if they are less (in numbers I mean), rather than having many friends, even if you don't have quality relationships with all of them and they are at a superficial level?

I hope you understand what I mean... to cut it short: more friends, or less friends, but good ones?

I would rather have one friend who i can completely trust with everything and he/she can trust me with everything.
The greatest feeling ever is having a friendship that you know will last forever, IMO.

And big groups make me feel awkward.

I can say i only have one...
I do get along quite good with my colleagues but i don't consider them friends since we only see each other during school time.
I am actually happy i don't have too many friends because i am not a very social person. I like spending time alone, with my computer. I prefer doing that instad of going out every night with other people. I am happy being just me and my boyfiend, with our own business.

Having too many friends is good because you socialize a lot bot bad because you can`t please all of them so you`ll have a lot of verbal fights. Better less friends but with whom you have a strong friendship.

I have many people I know, but I have very few close friends. I don't like having too many since friendship, as a marriage, needs constant work and committment. Even if I am a social person, I still like having less people I am close too, in this case the time is better spent

i would rather have less. having a group of friends is good, but it feels better to have a strong bond with one or two people than a weak bond with a whole bunch of people.

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.

I prefer a few close friends over a lot of acquaintances anyday.

Default More friends...

I prefer having more friends that just a few close ones becuase it is so much easier to be friends with alot of people then to single out and only be close to a few people when you live in a small town such as the one I live in.

Less friends. While I have many friends, I pretty much only choose to hang out with one. A superficial friendship seems worthless and boring to me.
