Make more friends, your social skills must be good, in other words, your emotional intelligence should be high, your life may be very lively and wonderful, and new friends will bring you new knowledge and new fields. But there are also problems. No matter how many friends you make, there are always few people you really appreciate or can talk to, and even fewer people can help you when you are in trouble, which will make you very upset.
Making fewer friends doesn't mean not making friends. It means to make only high-quality friends, that is, the confidants mentioned above, so your life may be a bit monotonous. You may see those people every day, but you won't be disturbed by your friends. You always have a good time with them. You will help each other and put each other in an important position.
Personally, I think the phrase "more friends and more ways out" is not very accurate. I don't think it's friends who give you a way out, but business partners.
In short, the difference between making more friends and making fewer friends lies in whether your daily life is colorful, whether your knowledge is really extensive, and whether you realize that people are cold every day. The choice is yours.
