Friendship

As you get older, you find out you don't need a lot of friends. You really need a few friends at most, and if you're super-selective you're content with one or two close friends. Besides, it's not possible to have lots of friends. You can be friendly with everyone, but it's not possible to be friends with everybody because of the different personalities people share. It gets my goat when people say they have lots of friends because it instantly triggers my lying meter. It's better to have a few close friends than lots of associates. Everybody doesn't deserve a spot in your life, that's the reality. Only a privileged few make it to friend status and that's ok. You control who you allow into your life. If you want to attract good people in your life, be the person you want to attract. People I've thought were friends really weren't friends, they were acquaintances. How is it possible to keep up with the "many" friends one has? Social Media & Technology. People I thought were friends turned out to be acquaintances, or associates at best. Most people fit into two categories: Acquaintance Or Associate.
