    i'm not sure i completely understand the question. if you mean having more acquaintances than close friends, then i would think that to be normal. you can't be friends with everybody as there's only one of you and however many people you'd ever meet in your lifetime. the sheer logistics would make it impossible to be everyone's friend, as nice as it would be to have a ton of them.

    actually, now that i think about it, do you mean this in relation to being on social media like facebook and whatnot? in that case, i think your question is an excellent one. how many of the people who 'friend' you on facebook would actually be your friends? gives one pause for thought...

    yeah, I meant like as in real life not on any social media network...does this mean that people look up to you or whatever since their called followers?

    well, i guess they look up to you... or the 'idea' they have of you whenever they look at you (if that makes sense). but do they really LOVE you? that's the big question for me...

    well I would guess they don't since they don't know me like that....

    I don't know if I would call it "good" or "bad" but it might suggest that a number of people in your life respect you and your voice. If you don't consider them friends, maybe there is an issue with closeness or comfort...but whether or not that's a positive or negative aspect of your life is up to you.

    Does that answer anything?
