Hunging out with one or two close friends vs. many friends

Spending time with friends is one of the most important part in our social life, it would make our life enjoyable and pleasant. But in which way we shall spend time with our friends, some like to spend time with one or two close friends, others prefer to spend time with a large number of friends. I believe both of them have their own advantages.  

To spend time with a one or two intimate friends would give us more quite and peaceful time. We can share everything that we would like to share. In that occasion, it would be also a good opportunity for us to talk something that belong to privacy or so, we can listen to each other and get advises from my friends. So, it would be the right time for us to confide and pacify each other, especially, in the case that we are hurt or uncomfortable, it would be the wise way to spend time with one of two close friends to have a chat, play chess or maybe have a little drink. While it would make it ever more worse if we do that with a large number of friends, however spending time with large number of friends can create good atmosphere easily for entertainment, we can share our happiness and enjoyment with them and release ourselves by parties, picnic, team sports and traveling.  

Both ways to spend time with our friends have their own advantages, if we arrange it in line with the actual situation and our own likes, definitely we could benefit from the time that we share with our friends, whatever, one or two close friends or a large number of friend.
