Keeping a Close Circle

Your circle of friends matter. Its better to have few friends that matter than many irrelevant friends that do not help you in any way. It is always better to have few friends who help you in your journey of life than having many that you never see and never get any help from. It is better to have few friends who understand your values and ideals than having friends from whom you can never share anything and who don’t even care about you.

Our friends matter, and too often we forget that. We try to keep up with too many people, share with too many people — those who don’t really matter — and we end up spreading ourselves too thin.

It’s best to have 2-3 good friends than 100 friends that doesn’t matter.

Your circle is everything. Your circle is the people who know you best and should be the most important in your life. But as we grow and move through life, sometimes our circle can become too big and it becomes hard to keep up with everyone and everything that's going on.

With each year we get older, we should be focusing on keeping our circle small, but having a circle that matters. It's actually better to keep a close circle of friends that matter than having many irrelevant friends.

Why?

  • The smaller your circle the less drama you have in your life. If you have a big circle, you are probably always interacting with people that are complete strangers to you. They could be telling lies about you or they could constantly be trying to get your attention. These situations might drain your time, energy and make your emotions unstable.

  • Keeping a tight circle means you can get more out of interactions with people you know best.

When you find yourself communicating with many people on a daily basis, it’s easy to lose touch with the importance of your closest relationships. This can be especially true when you meet people online. With tools like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others, your social circles can become increasingly disconnected from reality.

Unfriending, following, and unfollowing take a big toll when they are done without purpose and thought. The social media we choose to surround ourselves with should help us grow as people and make our lives better than before. But if we keep this circle small and let it grow over time to include only those who matter, we will begin to see results that matter to us in the real world.

However, even with a small social circle you must understand that some of them might matter more than others. Even with that same small group of friends, there will be one or two relationships that will have a much bigger impact than other relationships.

Look again at the social groups you are part of. Ask yourself, "Who really matters right now?" Would those faces be missed if they were gone?

I am convinced that it's better to keep a small circle of close friends that matter than a large number of irrelevant friends.

It would be hard to sustain your quality of life if your social group vanished or was diminished.

Likewise, keeping a large group of people as friends on social networks is probably not going to make you happy in the long run.

For me, having less "friends" means I can focus my conversations on the people who make a real difference in my day to day life.

I can still interact with people outside my circle whenever I want but the connections I've built with those close to me are much more valuable and real.

Thanks to my sponsor. I'm grateful. Guys check out their posts.

In the entertainment world, we are all aware of the saying "It's not about the size of your audience, it's about the size of your circle" but I think this quote also applies in many areas of life which we tend to often overlook.

Keeping your circle small is better than having many irrelevant friends. It protects you from abuse, saves you time, energy and also ensures that your important relationships get the attention they deserve.

So how do you decide who to keep in your close circle? Could be your family, a group of friends, a business partner or colleagues that matter. The easiest way to identify them is to consider what would happen if they were gone. Would things change?

In reality, if you are not sure whether someone falls into this category then chances are they don’t belong in your circle. What’s more, there is no point in talking to people who aren’t really interested in what you have to say or just want to waste your time with small talk.

friends are important but often friends can destroy your life because every friend is different so choosing a friend is also important, it's better to choose quality than quantity.

It's true, I have few friends in particular, but the ones I have I don't change for anything. On some occasion I was surrounded by many friends who over time were moving away, there I understood that not everyone values friendship in the same way. Greetings!
