Oh I’d have a BLASSST, 6 friends are the BEST for group pictures because you can be RIGHT in the center as the birthday boy/girl. And if you need a second they can all entertain themselves. You should go out! (Maybe rent the top of a bar and just chill there with your friends and take pics?) and HAVE FUN!! You’re 21 YESSS
well, imagine this. you have a large friend group, roughly 20 or so people. but half of them are just part of the group and not really YOUR friends. half of the 10 that are actually your friends talk about you behind your back. 2 others of those 10 are only friends with you because they feel a sense of obligation and/or belonging being friends with you. therefore, you have 3 actual friends.
not saying this is necessarily a common experience, but it’s also not rare in large friend groups. i’ve ALWAYS said that quality matters WAY MORE than quantity when it comes to friends. if those 6 friends feel like valued members of your life and they value you the same, i, personally, would be perfectly content with that!!!
to add on, i was able to come up with 8 possible bridesmaids for my future wedding, 2 of them being family members. and those are literally like all of my friends. i mean i have a few other long distance/online friends that i would LOVE to have attend my wedding if they can make it, but every single in person friend of mine will be in my wedding party (if they accept ofc)
