Honestly, I don't like to have many close friends. I like to know many people, to know interesting people and their habits, but I'm not interested in being sincere with many people, as it's not possible to show the same frankness to all your friends. I think a restricted number of friends is more suitable for me because I don't like to socialize with everyone. I like to share my real feelings with a few people, people I trust and love sincerely.
