You can have a lot of friends if you are outgoing. And when times are tough, your friends can help you get through. However, they might drift away, making you a Billy No-Mates. That situation is a double-edged sword. You have more free time because you don't have plans with friends, but you might be lonely, and loneliness could lead to sadness.

I am a people- person but I don’t really have a lot of friends. However, I can get along with people easily. Thank you for your newest podcast!

Thanks for this wonderful video. I think having goods friends is not an easy thing. According to my own experience, you can make very good and close friends when doing the same activity, wether studying, going to university, being at the same sport team and so on. That is said, it can seem easy to make new friends when sharing the same activity but perhaps it's difficult to mantain that friendships throught time, since the same interests dissapear. Greetings from Spain!! By the way, I am looking for a friend to do an English-Spanish language exchange via e-mail. Is anyone encouraged?

Great program 😊

I have afew of friends but They very good friends, They always help me when I need them
