背景介紹：

Some say it is hard to find just that one person you can call your best friend, then how have you found two. I just tell them that I have been super lucky. I have two wonderful gals to call up in the middle of the night just to tell them about the weird dream I had the other day. One from school and the other from college, but both are and remain to be just as special.

Often people talk about having close friends, really good friends, or a close knit group of friends but I have experienced that some friends just hang around longer, have been there for good and bad times and have just “stayed on” far more close knit and as we put it, best!

The funniest part is that these two friends are totally unknown to each other – in the sense, they haven’t met, they are from two different parts of my world but I am the common link between them. It does become interesting to notice how two people can mean so much so the same to one person.

So this is something I would like to know more about. Is the number of friends really a matter? How many of us have more than just one or two best friends? How many best friends do you have?

話題：

How many best friends do you have?

And how many best friends can a person have?

范例1：

I have about a handful of real friends. No best friend, but my favourite friend is a girl I met in college. Last time I saw her, I actually said to her, "You're not my best friend, but you're my favourite friend." We laughed because it's true and I just adore her. She's got a couple other best friends she has known for many, many years.

As of now, I would state I have 4-5 true friends, and some family I consider best friends I guess, like my mom for instance.

Meh, never really had a lot of friends. I have always known and liked a lot of people, so I have many more acquaintances than friends, always have. But I am more introverted and prefer to not have the "commitment" of friendships if that makes sense. I know it sounds selfish, but to me, real friends aren't actually people you need to see all the time to remain friends. I am very expressive and connected within my position at my job; it's actually more of an extroverted position in many ways. And I seriously just need to be a homebody sometimes, with my partner, my cat, and the comforts of my home and self-care.

范例2：

Surviving in this bleak and bitter world, we long for finding a partner sharing the burden of living. In this case, women are more desperate to seek for an intimate relationship, targeting no matter the same sex or the opposite. It seems that a friend is some kind of an attachment to woman. And also getting a best friend (BFF) makes the world go round for many females.

Friendship grows in time from one stage to another. The relation is developed in a long period of time which begins with acquaintance, then move to friend, good friend and finally - BFF. Having a BBF, indeed, is a blessing. That why the old saying goes, “If we get one true friend in our whole life, that's enough！”. I’m side with this opinion as maintaining close relationship takes time. Having too many BBFs is somehow distractive and also is violating the ultimate definition of BBF (the best friend forever).

范例3：

Friend, what a sacred word! We people are social animals and so we need friends around us. But the maintenance of friendship does not come without a price. Sometimes you can hear about people complain – the social activities are too much and I barely can breathe.
In my opinion, friendship is an amazing stuff which you can meet but you cannot demand. As for the amount of friends, there’s no definition. Because a true friend would never force you to do something you are reluctant to do or impose his or her ideas upon you. If you are so busy on socializing and sometimes feel really distressful and stretched on that, perhaps they are not your friends but acquaintances.
Time elapses. Friends of childhood and academic era have taken their own path. Wandering in the mega cities, a bunch of new faces fulfill your void. No matter how far you go away, when you meet again with your bosom friends, all are in the hug and a cup of wine. This is the essence of friendship!
