It can be tempting to chase friendships and seek popularity. Today\u2019s society convinces us that we should all strive toward a large social network and everyone\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n

But is having many friends really worth it? Most often, there are just a few people in our lives that we can count on. As shown in the below small circle quotes, being socially selective is a much wiser choice than trying to be everyone\u2019s friend.<\/p>\n

First of all, it is practically impossible to be liked by everybody<\/a>, no matter how hard you try. And secondly, not every person you hang out with is your true friend. You need to go together through many years and challenges to be sure that someone is loyal.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t fool yourself by holding onto the illusion that everyone is your friend. You may have numerous acquaintances, but real friends will always be just a few people you love and trust.<\/p>\n

When it comes to social connections, quality is more important than quantity<\/em>. The sooner you realize the value of keeping your circle small, the happier you will be. It will save you from unnecessary disappointment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The below quotes will help you with that.<\/p>\n
