In my last post, I talked about the Couples versus the Singles. I also touched on the "best friends" topic, as I did in the post before that. I think it's time to delve a little deeper. And, as per usual, I'll start with a question - which is more important: quality, or quantity?
People love popularity, for obvious reasons. It's nice to have people know your name. It's nice to get some attention. It's even nice to be envied, sometimes. Being the "it" girl or guy can make someone the happiest person in the world. This is why people enjoy having a lot of friends - they get that feeling popular people get. The feeling of importance, et cetera. But when it gets right down to the bare bones of it, does it really matter how many friends you have?
It doesn't matter how many. As one of my friends put it, "it's better to have one person that cares, than a room full of people that don't give a shit." And it's true. If you have friends that leave you when the going gets tough, they're not your friends. If they gossip about you and stab you in the back, they're not your friends. Your best friend will be there for you, period. They'll never betray you. Ever. That's that, plain and simple.
Sure, it's nice to have a lot of friends. But don't expect all of them to be there for you through it all. And when something comes up, and some of them aren't by your side, then that answers your question of their loyalty.
