Will having more friends make you happy?

No friends here but having just one good friend would be better than 100 fake friends anyday.

No, the quantity of friends is never the answer. I would rather one great friend over a dozen. I learned the hard way.

Having more than zero? Probably not.
#24
I think it does, because I love talking. But I'm sure it won't affect my self worth, since that is zero, I just don't know how to love myself.

Having more friends would make me happiER. I have no local friends, only people to write to and 1 or sometimes 2 to speak to. Having people locally who I could visit would make me a lot happier as I would feel less lonely and would feel a lot more liked than I do.

Same here. It's just so hard admitting that.

… If you can equate your happiness with more friends you will always not be satisfied

Not more friends, just friends in general. Everyone needs at least one good friend.

You'll be happier pursuing more friends than more material possessions. Good close friends are good to have.
