is it okay that i only have like one or two close friends? i have like one best friend and then like two good friends and people i just talk too. i feel like everyone always has more close friends than me though. i mean i talk to people but not like to the point where we'd hang out together a lot. i don't know sometimes i feel like somethings missing or wrong with it? i don't know any advice would be mucho appreciated
I'm incredibly happy to have one best friend whom I can rely on than pretend to have many close friends who I can't really trust for sure! [ Buttacup's advice column | Ask Buttacup A Question ]
Jeanne answered Monday December 3 2007, 2:07 am: Yes, it's definitely okay. In fact, I think it's pretty normal. I think most people have only one or two really close friends -- the kind that you can talk to about anything and can always rely on. Even those people who SEEM to have tons of good friends... they may have a lot of people they like to hang out with, but they probably aren't super close to all of them. Just like you, they probably have one or two who they can really call true, close friends. So don't worry about how many people you have to hang out with... if you have even one really close friend who's always there for you, you're lucky! [ Jeanne's advice column | Ask Jeanne A Question ]

It's definitely okay to have just a few close friends. I have 2 best friends, one guy and one girl and honestly I think its just easier that way because then you can focus on those friendships to grow and strength and its just difficult with several people LOL, and one person always ends up hating another person in larger groups.
xomegaroni answered Sunday December 2 2007, 9:45 pm: That's definitely okay. I think it's way better to have a few close friends then a lot of distant friends. As long as you get along with them, who cares. It doesn't matter how many friends you have. If you are there for each other, then it'll work out just fine.
