My Inner Circle Is Small but Mighty

I’ve always believed that the saying, “it’s not about quantity, it’s about quality” is more than just cliché. In my case, I’ve found this to be true when it comes to my inner circle. The people closest to me might be few in number, but they sure pack a mighty punch.

It All Started with Selective Socializing

Growing up, I was never one for having a large group of friends. Sure, I had acquaintances and classmates who were amiable around me. But social butterflies? That wasn’t me.

It wasn’t until high school when I started realizing that there was something special about keeping your friend circle small and intimate. Whether it was due to circumstances like awkwardness or intentional choice making (which mine certainly was), it felt reassuring knowing who you were safe with at all times – like a tight-knit squad that would stick together through thick and thin!

Choosing Quality Over Quantity: Brick-by-Brick Building Trust

Being selective in friendships means really honing in on whether someone gets us as human beings – beyond our day-to-day lives/gossip/career talk etcetera ƒ which let’s admit feels nice initially but doesn’t hold much value eventually!

You see, friendship building requires craftsmanship – being malleable enough for conversations to go anywhere from deep philosophical talks; discussing shared interests & passions to even cracking jokes over silly puns or blunders while also recognizing individual boundaries!

Building trust among potential friends entails investing time into understanding each other deeply rather than checking off boxes based merely on commonalities/similarities(kinda superficial tbh). When we care enough for ourselves/others stuck by us providing indispensable support through Life’s ups-and-downs , giving perspective back at low moments whilst clinking glasses together during celebrations = THAT’S what’s called a keepable circle!

Small but Mighty: The Perks of Having an Intimate Inner Circle

There are plenty of perks that come with having a small, intimate inner circle. Here are just a few:

Endless Support and Encouragement

Life can be tough – we face all types of curveballs that challenge us both on personal & professional fronts making it harder to cope up at times. But when you have supportive friends who know what you’re going through because they’ve seen the best/worst version of you- supporting one another the way your support system does can convert into a wonderful vibe allowing group members to reflect on themselves as individuals too! Each person brings their own unique set of experiences and perspectives to lend advice or just an empathetic ear around different topics – making sure helping hands always remain within reach!!!

No Judgment Zone

Small circles = less drama which means fewer chances for things like catty remarks, harsh comments, or undue judgment. When everyone in your crew is bonding together deeply there remains little room for jealousy/envy/any other negativity in-between causing hindrance whilst dealing with difficult situations surrounding Life.

So whether its coming out confessionals; soundboarding ideas/career plans still in infancy stage discussions regarding sensitive issues like anxiety/mood-swings/fears/etcetera (all while holding back no punches) , one thing’s guaranteed—the people in my inner circle genuinely get me without any “ifs”, “buts” ƒor“what if’s”

As much as fun it seems momentarily ; gossiping or talking behind each other backs might not feel regrettable initially but you never know where lines may blur!!

Strong Bonds That Last Longer – Emotionally Irreplaceable Bandwidth

Small-circle friendships allow taking genuine interest about someone/something-making memories last forever!!! Whether We’re traveling across lengths & breadths during vacations; celebrating a birthday blowing candles together feeling ridiculous or comforting during difficult emotional phases, real connections provide emotional bandwidth that gives life more meaning in the long run!!!

Opportunities For An Alternate Point Of View

Chances are everyone in your small circle isn’t going to have the same opinions on everything. This diversity of thought and perspective can be hugely beneficial when it comes to problem-solving, decision-making amongst various other aspects. With this you may even find out some things about yourself that you didn’t realize before (thanks to opposing view points leading into constructive confrontation rather than not just nodding along each others)!

Plus with an opportunity for deep conversation; hearing out varying viewpoints turns most mundane interactions into interesting ones causing more positive energy flow within!

But Don’t Get Me Wrong – Small Circles Require Maintenance Too

Just like any other relationship, friendships take effort from all sides , not one-sided ball game !! Small-cluster dynamics demand open channels of communication/group feedback; presence as needed (though NOT intrusively); both individual & group activities on calm/balance level ƒsuch way providing breathing space while still keeping people closeby and reachable. Living up each other’s moments—Big/small adds values collectively towards wellness overall!! And no inhibitions around celebrating these moments cause sometimes “adulting” feels lonely enough!!

A Final Few Words..

In conclusion, every little detail regarding our inner circles might resonate well with us personally.

Oftentimes it seems we’re asked to measure our friendship success by how many followers/friends/likes/retweets etcetera but remember its crucial creating organic bonds based upon quality-aspects = don’t let quantity overshadow here!!! Having fewer but truly invested relationships can make life feel less alone/more bearable during tough times + give someone safe place where they completely feel at ease opening up without worrying abψut being judged/rejected!

If you already hold a great circle then take more efforts into nurturing it; schedule cozy interludes with them or just laugh together over some good-ol’ candid pictures/indulge in activities that makes you all tick(could be books, sports, cupcakes – you name it) cause in the end of the day “miles apart” would still make moments unforgettable!!
