On a personal level as well as on social level, I prefer just a few friends. There is a saying which says that 'friends should be few and good one'. I follow that good adage. That apart personally, I don't believe in having too many friends. It is because we should not waste our precious time unnecessarily with friends and we have to give some time to our personal life too. After all, I too have a life to look after and care about. There is also a saying why a person's life gets improved or spoiled is all because of friends. I strongly believe having too many friends will only waste your time and their time and nothing concrete would be achieved out of such friend's circle. I know people who are spoiled because of their friends.
