I have recently learned that its not the amount of friends you have but the ones that trully care about you can mean the world. Those make your world so much brighter. As to be a introvert - well that makes it a little harder for you to get out. Try to do little things at first, attempt going to the movies by yourself and start from there. Eventually you will see that getting out of the house and making new friends isn't that difficult. Good luck!

Who is your best friend?
Who is the most important person in your life?
Do you like yourself?… Do you believe you are a special person?
Be your own best friend !!!
To be honest with you, I don’t think the number of friends you have is important.
Having a lot of friends only means that you are popular.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that you are a nice person, or that you are better than anyone else.
To me… ‘quality’ is much more important than ‘quantity’.
In other words, how good your friends are is much more important than how many of them there are.
You mentioned that you are ‘introvert’…
That may well be the reason why you don’t have a lot of friends.
If having more friends is important to you, then perhaps you could aim toward being more an extrovert.
That is entirely up to you though.
If you like who and what you are… Don’t change a thing!!!

Honestly, if you have one or two close friends throughout your entire life that is usually normal. Some people have alot of aquaintences that they call friends, however a friend in my opinion is someone who you can trust unconditionally with anything at all, your money, your children, your life, your deepest darkest secret without fear or worry. Aquaintences are not those type of people. So, do not worry if you do not have many friends, that is completely normal. Friends are someone you can trust, aquaintences are someone who you have talked to or have some minimal interest with. I am 44 years old. I have 2 real trustworthy friends. I have hundreds of aquaintences. There is a difference and there is nothing wrong with you. No, having lots of friends is not important. You will have as many friends as they prove to be trustworthy to you. Sometimes more is not always best.

I have lots of people i know. People say i have tons of friends, but i wouldnt consider them as friends. I have 6 friends in my mind and these are the people i hang around with the most. They are the people that are always there for me. Having lots of friends isnt a bad thing and it isnt a good thing when there is a rumour going around, its just more area to spread it. Dont worry about not having many friends. No-one will be completely honest with you but just appreciate how honest and good natured they are now!

To be honest, the more people I called my friends at one time, the more I seemed to get into trouble. And I can't tell you how many of my dear friends stabbed me in the back (in tons of different ways). I would be choosy, and I know it's lonely there by yourself, but truth is most of those kids with lots of friends are just as alone as you, they just don't realize it. I suggest finding one or two people that you genuinely like, and spending time with them if you can. And don't worry if they aren't one of the 'popular' kids, cuz everyone of them I ever met were jerks who thought only of themselves. Find a person who understands that a friendship is a give and take relationship.
GOOD LUCK!

Lavender Id give up all my so called friends for 1 true friend .
I think its the quality of your friends not the quantity.
After all 1 great friend can make you feel better than a million strangers , don't be hard on your self the most Important thing is that you like you.... you will always be your best friend .

It's the quality of friends that is important not the quantity. You'll probably find that the people who boast about it are thinking of acquaintances rather than real friends.

You should not worry yourself. There's nothing wrong with you. Be who you are and be a good person, you'll find some friends soon enough. I have lots of friends they help me a lot especially when I have problems and need suppourt. But having a few friends is ok too. Just make sure you have friends.

what's wrong with you? please, why is there something wrong because you look for honesty? you live in a world of deceit. you are cautious. that is an admirable quality. I have very few friends, they are hard to find.good friends is more important than lots of imaginary friends. you are right to be selective. introvert, means you are selective, you don't let suspicious characters in.again an admirable quality. being happy with the friends you have is more important than how many.

the truth of the matter is that most people don't have a REAL friend, and if they do it's only one MAYBE two...
it's hard to find a real friend cuz everybody's just a fake...
but it's ok to have friends who are not real friends just for hanging out... if you hang out with some1 doesn't necessarily mean you are best friends...
you are not different that any1 else... g'luck
