So you can have many places to run to in times of need? 🤣 No, small circle is the best!

Haha! Merit! This got me cracked up. I'm rolling.

I'm with you on this. What is the essence of having plenty of friends with no benefits?

There’s no point, brother. Totally useless.

Indeed, it's better to have a small circle that you can count on than so many so called friends

1 real friend is better than 10 fake ones.

100 percent right man. Fake friends are a waste of everyone's time

It's OK to have concentric circles of friends. The inner circle is for people you go to battle with and would die for. The other circles are for establishing networks of mutual aid.

Okay, what term would you use to describe “concentric circles of friends?” friends? Acquittances?

"Concentric circles" is my term. D farther from D center of D circle, D less attachment U have 2 those friends. Innermost circle has your best friends, those U value most. Larger circles represent more friends but less attachment/feelings.

My head is about to blow off.

LOL, good luck!
