I have three friends that I can tell just about anything to. One has been my best friend since we were 12, though we first met at 10, one since we were about 18 met through a serious party crowd, and the third I met through the second.

We don't always agree on stuff, and we have a lot of differences (heck, we don't have that much in common on the surface, but we're all there for each other. Quality is definitely better then quantity.

I used to have a group of 5 including myself in high school that I was really close to. I still try to keep in touch with 2 of them (the other 2 and I have had our disagreements sadly), but I don't feel comfortable talking about certain things with them anymore. I thought these girls were going to be my friends for ever…BEST friends.

Then when I went to college, I got randomly placed in a room with my now best friend. Talk about luck…you always hear horror stories of roomates, but not me. At that point I realized I didn't have much in common with my old friends compared to all the new people I met. So now I'm like 1482057 times closer to my 2 roomates than all of my friends from high school put together. So I definately agree with your quality over quantity idea.

I could totally relate to this article.

My birthday just came up and I use to have tons of birthday wishes and such, and this year pretty much just my close friends and a few others sent birthday wishes. At first I was a little upset, but like you said, quality is way better than quantity.

I know I'll have these few friends for the rest of my life.

I only have like 2 friends that i can share anything with. I tend to keep things to myself most of the time so it can be hard for people to get to know me.

I noticed I tend to move in groups of three. I had two close friends in kindergarten, and again in elementary and middle school, and even in high school. The people did change as I matured, but the two girls I met in high school are still my best friends.

In college now, I noticed I'm opening to a lot more "close friends." Where before I only have two people who really knew what was up in my life, I have five or six now. I don't mind it, I like it actually. I feel like I have better footing, and my save haven of friends I wouldn't trade for the world.
