How many friends should I have?

Titi chooses quality over quantity

Your thoughts (153)

In my school, belonging to a clique was the “in” thing. If you weren’t in a clique, you weren’t cool. End of story.


So many people did so many things they didn’t want to do. All because they wanted to “belong” and be cool. Some people even started hanging out with people they didn’t like. Just so they could say brag about having lots of friends. It was crazy.

Then I found out friendship isn’t about quantity, but quality. I started focusing on the type of friends I had instead of the number of friends I had. What’s the point of having 10 friends if none of them ever has your back? Or if they’re never around when you need them most?

Yes, we face so much pressure to fit in. But being yourself is much better. When you are your true self, you’ll make great friends who love you for you. Like my best and only friend, Jemila. She’s always there for me whenever I need her. She helps me with all kinds of stuff. We look out for each other no matter what.

We read Springster stories together. She even buys me small-small things from the market. And the sweetest thing? She doesn’t just call me when she wants something. Or to show off. She can call me to discuss something as random as what she had for breakfast! Now that’s a real friend.

Jemila and I know everything about each other. She never judges me. In short, she totally gets me. I wouldn’t trade her in for more friends. She’s a million friends in one. I’m so happy to have her in my life. I hope you find your own Jemila real soon.

Hey, I get all this quotes from the net. Do you need airtime

hey I get it from the internet, do you need airtime

which line do you use

me 2, you can buy a double data plan. 2morrrow I will send you credit anytime you are online so dat no one will use it. To do the DD plan just text *126*pin#, when it has been successful, dial *141#, then you select data plan, after you select one of them that's all, you will see a message what should you do when the bundle has finished, you should probably select stop and that is it.

after selecting data plan, you should select daily /weekly plan then no 3

Did you hear of Nicki Minaj latest hit Song It is Barbie Dreamz

So when are you going to be online 2morrrow

Hey Paris2! For the umpteenth time, you need to stop asking for social media details. YOU ARE INTENTIONALLY BREAKING THE RULES AND THAT IS RUDE. Your behaviour is totally unfair and uncalled for. You have been deleted before for this same reason and you keep on repeating it. This shows that you have no regard for this platform and that is totally disappointing. Please note that this is your last warning and you will be deleted if we see another comment like this from you.

Many friends disappointed me in life, after given them all my ♥ but yet, failed me. Now that I found it difficult to trust somebody, how then would I know that Mrs or Mr A & B are trustworthy and can be honest?

it's just a matter of time and u won't have ur heart broken again; just 'PUSH',everyone has his or her own time to shine

Hey Pst! Thanks for the comment. We are so sorry about what you went through in the past. We understand that it is hard to trust again especially when your trust has been betrayed in the past but what you need to know is that no one is perfect. You need to learn to trust people but you also need to be careful and also get to know the person you are going to trust better before you do. We hope this helps
