Would you rather have a large circle of friends or just a few very close ones?

B Natural answer

I’d choose a few very close friends because it’s easier to know them well. When you spend enough time together, you understand each other’s habits, values, and limits. That makes the friendship more comfortable and honest. I also think close friends are the ones who will show up for me when something important happens, not just when they’re free. I like a big party now and then, but in daily life I care more about real conversation than collecting lots of names in my phone.
