My Sole Friendship: I Only Have One Friend

We all have that one friend who we can count on in times of need. But what if that’s the only friend we have? Yes, you read it right, I only have one friend! And before you jump to conclusions, let me tell you why having a single friendship isn’t as bad as it sounds.

Quality over Quantity

Having just one friend means that our bond is exceptional. We know each other inside out and can always rely on each other without hesitation. There are no petty conflicts or misunderstandings because my friendship is with someone who truly understands me.

The Struggle of Making Friends

Making new friends sure feels like an arduous task for so many people across different age groups; but more specifically for introverts and highly analytical thinkers whose brains race through every social scenario even before they step into any setting where friendships are formed – those individuals struggle with the simple question: how do I make genuine connections without coming off weird or pushy?

Hence making meaningful bonds requires time and effort for these type of individuals.
So when they finally find someone they vibe with, why would they risk losing them by spreading themselves thin among multiple people?

1+1 > 2

When two puzzle pieces fit together perfectly to complete another picture entirely different from their own –- friendship magic happens! Not having too many distractions from hordes of friends has given us endless opportunities to spend quality time together|talk about everything going on in our lives|and not feel rushed at doing so : which has notably [improved] the overall healthiness of both parties involved!

No Group Chats Please!

As an avowed introvert myself : acting “social” doesn’t come easily (ugh). So imagine being part + several group chat texts…breathe in …most outgoing people may never understand this level of social anxiety. My lone friend, just gets it! Honestly our friendship is a safe haven away from forced social interactions and the pressure of sustaining connections with multiple people!

Dream Adventures Together

With my one and only friend, we plan amazing trips that nail every detail to perfection. We both share similar interests in reading books/podcasts on history, visiting places like Toledo-reminiscing about its ancient past- (actually though-toledo would be a great place to visit right now) or driving up into the mountains for some R&R – (living life without interruption) capturing those “perfect” memories together.

We Give honest Feedback

We know ourselves well enough to give each other constructive criticism whilst still encouraging growth so we get closer as individuals; but also something that many partnerships/friendships lack is honesty/ yet fulsomely given feedback! So if I don’t look my best self when trying on an all-camo outfit made by @hm_wein , BFF will let me know immediately .#RealFriendshipGoals 🙂

Cutting out Negative Energy

Most often than not venting sessions: turned—-marathons can prove detrimental [[[imagine your mindset after 4 hours of complaining…very productively annoyed]]]; so why waste time? When speaking with our sole friend it feels like such moments lessen in intensity.

Having few friends translates into avoiding unnecessary drama but also maintaining healthy boundaries| hence protecting oneself from toxic/untrustworthy individuals who could lead you astray.

Being surrounded by positive energy helps foster good habits which ultimately leads to personal growth than being bombarded with superficial responses!

Wrapping It Up

In summary, having Only One Friend isn’t a bad thing at all. Sometimes platonic bonds grow stronger when paired off against large groups.
This unique bond has its perks including spending quality time doing fun things whoever knowing they understand what goes through our mind’s inner workings.
So whether or not you have one friendship behind you, value that person while it lasts; because truly quality of friendship counts more than quantity!

Embrace Your Inner Hermit

Most people may never understand the joys of solitude but some genuinely benefit from “me-time”. Although it’s important to put yourself out there and interact with others , meeting external demands may drain your social battery much faster. So take time for yourself-not as an option –-but rather a necessity! Allow yourself time to recharge so as to better articulate who/what partner best fits in amidst life’s chaos 🙂

Recap

  • Quality is superior when compared against Quantity
  • Making friends can be really challenging
  • 1+1 >2 :When two puzzle pieces fit perfectly!
  • We give honest feedback which fosters growth| Real friendships only!
    -Cutting Negative Energy helps in fostering excellent habits and ultimately personal growth
    -Take deliberate moments off whilst embracing your inner hermit – no guilt required!

Remember “count your blessings” even if they appear in the form of just One Friend….:)
