I have a few close friends, but I consider it my inner circle, but I will not say that I have a large number of friends. I have quality over quantity when it comes to friendship, developing meaningful connections and maintaining strong bonds requires time, trust, and mutual understanding. I prefer investing my energy in a few, rather than spreading myself thin across numerous acquaintances.
