Is it normal to have few friends?
sweetie no you are not a loser ok those people who seem like they have 20 friends i am sure that almost half are not really friends you know what i mean and friends will bend over backwards for you help you out when you need it you know and your only 15 so when you get older your friends will grow up with you and yes you can include your cousin ok so don't be fooled by people who have 20 friends because they may not be good friend ok so you will find friends ok that care and love you ok so dont worry
Is it okay to make only a few friends in college?
I'm on my first year of nursing school in a university about 2-3 hours away from home. I'm residing with my paternal aunt's house together with her fiance and 10-year-old son. My aunt treats me like her daughter and my cousin and I are pretty much like close siblings. I don't have any problems with my home life here. I'm even happier when I'm home. When I was in high school, I didn't make a lot of friends. However, I have two close friends who stayed with me for 5+ years. I have good relationships with my teachers and our school psychologist is someone I also consider as a friend. I have two guy friends whom I can share my secrets and life with. Beyond that, I'm not friends with anybody. People regarded me as quiet, conservative, and 'smart'. I'm an introvert. In the first two weeks of my college life, I've made one friend close enough that we are hanging out together every lunch or everywhere we go. We've made plans to go shopping in a particular mall. Every dismissal or break time, we wait for each other to vacate from our seats so we can go together. Despite how positive these signs are, I couldn't help doubting about her 'loyalty' to me as a friend—I'm worried that she may leave me completely someday. I have started genuinely trusting and caring for her. We also have each other's number and she wants us to chat often on Facebook. She's nice and a little reserved like me too. I've tried hanging out with other peer groups and they're nice too, but that doesn't guarantee my entry as their new friend. She's the only person I'm close in the classroom. But sometimes, I just get jealous of my other mates in class that they seem to be merrily in unison and friendly compatible to one another. Why won't I get the same treatment? Everyone at class doesn't seem to approach or interested to approach me. I know I should be content with what I have but I also want to have a wider social circle. I have no problem working in groups or communicating with my groupmates; I can channel my ideas clearly and flawlessly if needed. When people try to approach me, I feel somewhat persuaded to change my personality when I shouldn't, because I've tried that and it all turned out to be exhilirating and embarrassing in my part. I hope people start noticing how awesome am I as well. I'm just trying to be myself because being myself makes me more content and happy. Is my life okay?
Would you rather have a few close friends or many friends that aren't really close?
So a few close friends are those that are your best friends and you can talk to them about everything. Or do you have many friends that aren't close, but you just hang out with them. So out of these which category best describes you? Which category would you like to be in, and why? Thanks this is for a class project.
