Recently, I realized that I have very few friends. There are no more than three of them. However, I often see people who have a lot of friends, and sometimes I begin to feel somehow impaired. What do you think? Do you have a lot of friends?
Quality over quantity, my friend.
Unless you're very extroverted, there's no reason to "hoard" friends.
Generally, people tend to have less friends as they grow older, so make them count.
