4 Zodiacs Who Prefer Having Only A Few Close Friends

It’s usually a red flag when someone doesn’t have a lot of friends. Most people see it as a sign that there’s something flawed about their personality that pushes other people away. But that’s not the type of person this list is for. I’m not talking about loners or introverts; I’m referring to people with discriminating tastes in friends. This list is for the zodiac signs who value quality over quantity.

1. Virgo

(August 23 – September 22)

Virgo, all you need and want are a handful of people who understand you. You have a unique and fascinating personality that many people are incapable of appreciating. While this used to bother you, over time you’ve grown to realize that it’s their problem, not yours. Very few people are able to distinguish between diamonds and glass. But a person who holds only a few diamonds in their hand is far richer than someone who totes around a thousand jagged shards of glass. The diamonds are valuable. The glass can be dangerous. 

2. Scorpio

(October 23 – November 21)

Sometimes you’d rather listen to what’s inside your head than anything on Spotify. You’d also much prefer listening to a friend who cracks you up or makes you think than endure the idle chitter-chatter of the multitudes. You realize that people who need to be surrounded by others are often terrified of being alone with their own thoughts. You love being alone with your own thoughts. You also love sharing your thoughts and dreams and hopes and fears with those gentle and noble souls you’ve accrued over the years who call themselves proud to be your friend.

3. Cancer

(June 21 – July 22)

Some people feel warm and exhilarated while huddled in a crowd; you feel lost and exhausted. Sometimes others misinterpret this as snobbery or standoffishness. But if someone chooses to eat only at the finest restaurants, it’d be silly to say they hate food—you prefer the best food. You’re not antisocial or stuck-up; you’re just picky. You’d rather enjoy the evening at home with one good friend than waste a night on the town with 100 strangers. You don’t spread your love or friendship too thinly—you only dole it out to those who earn your trust.

4. Aquarius

(January 20 – February 18)

You have great instincts for people who are shallow and manipulative and insincere. You can spot such types a mile away. Over the years, you’ve learned to avoid all those phony “friends” who only take and never know how to give. All those flakes and liars and cheaters and double-crossers are not worth your time. You may not have a lot of friends, but the ones you have are solid gold. You realize that an ounce of gold is worth far more than a ton of dirt.
