is it bad not to have friends?

Question

i have only one friend and i get laughed at about it! is that bad?

Answer 1

friends are over rated, anyone who can manipulate people can have lots of "friends" but it is sad that u only have one....

Answer 2

I think I read somewhere that the average is 1 or less, because some people doesn't have friends. Then you need to consider what you are calling a friend, because probably you know many and you are just hanging out with 1, that doesn't mean you have 1 friends. Then you need to consider how close you are to that person, and how close that person is to you. I heard that in your lifetime, making 3 FRIENDS is a big number, 1 or 2 normal, more than 5 is a matter to "double check" if they are real friends. Once you meet your first friend you will know the difference and you will move a lot from the list of "friends" to the list of people "you-know" or just know or meet. Because having a friend, that's a big deal, and not many people get to know what that is, in their lifetime.

Answer 3

It's not bad if it's your choice. But if you only have one friend because you're just not a nice person, then I would work on that or you might be a lonely person in the future.

I don't think there's anything funny about having only one friend. If you feel that's all you need than who cares what everyone else thinks. You might find, however, that it's more fun to have a group of friends. Try branching out a little and see where it takes you. It can't hurt right?

Answer 4

It is not bad to only have one friend. I have very few close friends and most of them are relatives. Most people befriend you for what they can get out of you. They just want to use you and then don't care if they see you again. You know you have a true friend when if you don't see them for a long time and when you meet them again nothing has changed between you and you can still talk to them as if not time has passed. Don't let people judge you by the amount of friends you have, just be honest with who you are and the type of people you want to be friends with, don't try to be something your not or hang out in a place thats not really you, you will just meet people that are not really your type of friend.

Answer 5

People will always find something to pick on someone else about.

If you're happy with your one friend, then don't worry about what they say.

I'd rather have 1 true friend than a dozen 'frenemies'.

Just be happy and know that a lot of people don't feel the need to have a huge circle of "friends". Everyone is different, and especially if you're more introverted (shy and quiet) than extroverted (outgoing and someone who likes to talk a lot) it's not strange at all that you feel comfortable with fewer external people in your life.

Be happy :) that's the important thing!

Answer 6

Not at all. You just dont go round picking people up to be your friend because you want to feel liked. In life you are lucky to have one true friend and extremely lucky to have more than 2. In the future you will still be friends with that one person where as all the people with say 10 friends will most probably not even be in contact with them.

Answer 7

You said you had one friend so that's all you need because I always says you should at least have one true friend and you do so ones enough and friends are not over rated the only people that think that are people that don't have any.

Answer 8

well my friend only has 2 friends but she do sent get laughed at and no its not bad to have only one friends unless u want more friends then her or him.

Answer 9

What the heck do people care if you have one best friend or a couple of hundred?
If you are not happy then make more friends but personally I think its better to have one true friend than a bunch of people who say they are your friend but when you need them they disappear.

Answer 10

Yes it's bad not to have friends because it's no fun if you dont have a group of people to turn to when you need them.
If you dont have no friends then either your not liked by people or you just dont want anyone else to be your friend.

Answer 11

I really only have 2 people I call friends!! The rest are just acquaintances!! It is not bad unless there is a reason why?? Like what kind of person you are!!
