Do you believe in having a best friend or a group of close friends ?

.I have both...I have a few close friends, but one stands out from the others as being someone I know I could rely on no matter what, and who I have more in common with overall. We just have a connection that is not shared between myself and the others, although I truly love the others as dear friends and we all know we're there for each other through thick and thin.

I think you can have both. A best friend is the one you turn too more and will help you with any issue. A small group of close friends is good, but sometimes due to people's different values etc, you may not always get the helpful advice you want. I have had a best friend since high school, but at same time, i have an amazing bunch of close friends also

I think It's best to have a close group of friends... but within that group have a best friend. Your best friend doesn't even need to be part of your 'close' group. A best friend is just someone you can trust and count on more than everybody else. N along with that having the close group of friends is nice for sleepovers, going out, and talking about most everything. People trust each person in different ways. Having a close group of friends allows trust to circulate through people in a variety of ways

All living with us are friends. Even the people who are considered as enemies are our friends.

Human beings are meant to live in a society or a group. We need a team spirit at all places. Suppose we are walking along the road and we see a big steel sharp object which can cause injury to others or car tyres. We immediately remove it and put it aside. This kind of spirit is team spirit. Like in a building, we have few bricks under the ground as foundation, few at the bottom , others in the middle and few on the top. Likewise human society will have people living at all levels. We cant have all the bricks at the same level and build a house. But we need to support each other in all possible ways. That is team spirit.

Group of Friends

I believe in Group of some close friends. But if I have a choice between these 2 views which you have given, I think 1st one is better than 2nd one.

To be honest, I dont believe in best friend thing, I mean I like to be with people with whom I can share my thoughts and who is willing to listen and also sharing theirs too.Anyone who fits the bill can make it

I always feel that sometimes life can change directions, and people always, always are bound to change their mind now and then, we find friends becoming enemies and enemies becoming friends.So in such cases, expecting people to be always the same appears to be impractical.So if I'm going to be constantly attached with one person then it becomes emotional attachment and my mind would not be willing to try anything new.For example , I may meet someone better but since my mind is fixed on this best friend thing, I may not accept that and will keep that person away from getting closer

But if they consider me as their best friend,I try to give them more importance though

So yeah,I believe in group of close friends

ADDED : Well, actually saying my views on the best friend concept, so dint look at your options.Okay, if I were to chosse between the two, I'd prefer the second option

I believe Every Person iS Ur Best Friend........Just U Who Helps U In that Particular Situation or Shows A Way

I think you can have both, just one as well as a few best friends. I have 2 and I can't compare them with each other but both are equally valuable to me. I think 1 best friend is also possible because usually as you get older some friends move away/get married or get busy and you end up sticking with the one you're the most closest with.

I've got a best friend. One I can talk to about EVERYTHING. I think that's best. If you have a group of friends then you get into the whole group dynamics and gossip and taking sides. It falls apart quicker and has a tendency to become dramatic.

I have other good friends and I also have a more casual group of friends. They all their place. I'd be lost without my best friend though.
