When I was little, I was very introverted. I was the typical shy kid who stuck to her parent's side. I like to believe that I have grown a lot since that time over the course of my schooling and my life overall. At this point in my life, I even think I'm slightly more extroverted.
Being an introvert, I didn't really interact with a lot of people in elementary school. I had a small group of friends, but we rarely hung out outside of school. In middle school, I came out of my shell and was more sociable; however, I still had the same friend group.
In no way at all am I complaining about having a small number of friends, because I actually prefer having a small group of people to hang out with and share my life with. They are always there for me and I'm there for them.

Even though I currently am more extroverted, I still have this introverted trait. To be honest, I don't know if I could ever have more than five or six close friends. I know I can trust all of them with anything, and we always have an enjoyable time.
My close-knit group of friends knows my personality, and I know theirs. Even though this group of people may be small, they offer me so much support in all that I do. From my writing to my interests to my lifestyle, my friends are constantly there for me in all that I do.
I know I write an abundance of posts about my friends on this platform, but that's because they have played such an important role in who I am today. I have learned so much through this small group of people, and I will be forever grateful for the time I spend with them. I truly can't imagine where I would be without my childhood best friends and the new friends I've made in the past year.
I'm sure having a big group of friends fits other people's personalities, but my small group is perfect for me.
