Is It Better To Have A Few Close Friends Rather Than Lots?

It depends on the type of person that you are. If you are a really sociable person, then obviously you will talk to lots of people and have many friends. If you aren't as sociable then you may only have a few friends who you are close to.

It is good to have friends who you can talk to about any problems and friends who you feel you can rely on. Even if you do have lots of friends, there will always be ones that you find you are closer to, and these are the ones that you can trust.

If you had lots of people who you classed as friends but you felt you couldn't talk to them about problems then it would be a good idea to get to know people who you feel you have more of a connection with.

There's no real answer to this because it all depends on the quality of the friendships you have. Having one good and true friend is probably better than having a lot of people who are more like casual acquaintances.

It's possible to have both lots of friends and one or two very close friends and I think that's what most of us tend to have.
In terms of your social life it's good to have a lot of friends because then you've got lots of choices when it comes to going out and doing things.
I think that having one or two very close friends is  a great thing because that sort of friendship tends to last much longer and the strength of the bond between you can grow very strong over time.
If friends are on a more casual level you tend not to share so much with them whereas a best friend is someone who  is there with you through good and bad times and you can tell each other all sorts of things that you wouldn't normal tell to other friends.
Some people prefer to have a wide circle of friends and others are more comfortable with one or two good friends - it's an individual thing really.

Yes I do agree with you when the quantity become more then quality become less. I think that in the world you can't have more then 2 best friends whom you can share all of your feelings and every thing whether personal or general things. And when there is bunch of people around you then in my sense they are not all of your friends they are just the companions of your some time era, but the best friends are only few, only 1 or 2.
