Is it normal that i have less friends than other people?

Grass is always greener?

I mean no disrespect, but did you take a survey to determine what the average number of friends is in your area?

Personally, I know a lot of people, but have very few close friends.

I have three friends and lots of acquaintances. I used to hang with them a lot but now I feel much better being with myself.

Most people have a great many acquaintances that they mistakenly call friends, but most of us have only a few real friends in life.
Perhaps that's all you need in life? Those others, those acquaintances, can be maddening, wonderful, crazy, stupid, exciting, unnerving, etc. and some people just cannot cope with all that drama. So we each must make our way down the paths that interconnect with others a choose those we wish to know well and love.

Same but I don't ever feel like talking or hanging out with anyone. I only worry because people tell me it's not normal so then I feel "lonely" but really I'm ok with it, I have other hobbies/interests that don't include close contacts with people..
