Social friends are willing to hang out with you to do whatever from time to time. You’re not too close and your conversations don’t go too deep. However, you enjoy each others company. You’ve known them for a few months, and they come and go. You have many of these friends, so you’re always invited to do whatever and you’re never alone.

Close friends are willing to see you on a daily basis (if you’d like), and you feel comfortable being around them. You can talk about close or deep subjects, pretty much anything you want, and you both have an understanding of each other. You’ve known them for years. They don’t come and go, they stick around. You only have a handful of them, so you may get lonely.

I know, the comparisons are not exactly reciprocals of each other, but whatever.

So…is it quantity over quality? Or vice versa?
