Please tell me if you agree with the statement below or if you don't? (List reasons)

One close trustworthy friend is more than enough for me. I've never had too many friends, so don't know about the second sentence. :)

If I had many real friends ( not the fair weather kind or the insincere kind), my depression would probably not exist.

Hm. Idk that much of anything is universally true, just a matter of circumstances, perspectives. I know that it is easier to have friends if you are reasonable, emotionally mature and have disposable income. 2 close friends sounds pretty good though. I can understand having too many friends being stressful.

one good trustworty friend is enough out here :-)

Disagree because it is a misleading question, first it discusses two close friends you can trust then it generalizes to to many friends with no qualifications for the latter. I don't think having too many close friends whom you can trust and dedicate yourself to can lead to depression. Problem you would find many friends in that category so you will never have to worry about it. If you even have a couple in that category you are doing good.

@floatingintheocean. Yeah I can see where your coming from here. Thanks

Sometimes one can bring you enough depression and stress

i 100% agrree

one is enough

1 is enough

Depends on who you are and how you were raised but I do prefer to go the way the statement says, I mean good luck with ALL the advice and comparing that goes on with many many friends.

Preachy.

@SsmoothiesS, if a friendship begins to feel like that a long chat is in order to discuss the way you feel. Otherwise you risk it building up to a volcano of feelings erupting 😳 ?

@sighmeupforthat, for the person who came up with the quote? Perhaps yes it does sound a little preachy. But I think we all preach don't we? Do you preach?

@Snowdrops, 1 true, genuine friend is something never to be taken for granted, I absolutely agree with you. Thanks

@indubitlably yes we do open up to discuss feelings but it doesn't stop bringing those depression and stress due to my friend's clumsiness 😐

@carissimi, sorry if I have misread but am I correct in reading into this as that it is friends that have caused you to be depressed?

That's probably best for a majority of people but not everyone.

@subsumedpat, I like that perspective thanks.

Ive only had one friend in my life and we've only been talking for a year... so i feel like you can do without them 😂
