These days, many people trade quality friendships for Facebook
friends. You may have 1,000 connections in a social network program, but
that does not mean that you have many deep connections.
That is too bad. It is also a potential problem.
Ask yourself, if you had to share a great success at work, who would
you call first? If you had a serious problem that you needed to work
through, who would you contact? If you had a couple of extra hours on a
weekend, who would you call to hang out?
If the answer to those questions is the same person in each case,
then you need to think about finding a broader set of connections.
It is healthy to have a few close friends. It is great to be able to
get a second opinion when you are struggling with a decision and to be
able to share your good news with a few people who will really care
about it. It is also great to have people that you know can rely on you
when they need something.
