Is it normal to only have one friend?

10 Comments

I've had the same best friend for 8 years now. Although we've shared other friends, we have both been each others main friend. We never really fight and there isn't much drama between us. We don't really associate with others or try to make new friends because we're so comfortable with each other and the relationship we have. Is this normal? Because I look at other girls my age and they all seem to have many friends and they're always fighting and then losing friends and making new ones.

    You have a true friend. Be thankful because I've read mainly stories on here where many people wish they could a person who they could hang out with.

    Normal.
    As Anime7 here said, some people would love to have one good friend.

    It's great that you share that deep of a bond with someone. A few superficial friends does not compare to one good friend.

    Well it's good that you have one best friend but it'd be wise for both of you to have a few others friends in case the worst ever happened. Some of my 'tightest' relationships eventually unraveled and those I thought I could trust or count on have let me down.

    There are no certainties in life, so it's better to be prepared for anything. A few friends gives you more options and also a safety net in case your bff is no longer around for some reason or if you break up.

    I think it's normal. One is better than none and having one that you know you can trust is always a good thing.
