context: One-on-one or couple-on-couple dinners are much better than group events for me. You can actually talk substance and learn what's going on with them, rather than engaging in useless small talk with a bunch of different people or watching an attention whore trying to get everyone to listen to them. >
  
  I think you just never have had a good group. This is not my experience in any of my close 3 groups. >
  
  Are groups even close? Are you sure they're all even your friends, and not just friends with others in the group? If you're not talking to them independently, they're probably not really your friends. >
  
  Wait until you don't have any friends then you'll change your tune. I miss having a friend group, but I don't miss my old group because they turned out to be secretly homophobic. Once you find the right group, it's fantastic. >
  
  Tell me you don't have friends without telling me you don't have friends 🙂 >
  
  Wow that adds s lot to the topic (I have friends) >
  
  it just seems like you are insecure and have lost your freinds. Which is fine. If they were true friend to begin with you could never have lost them. So they obviously werent true freinds. Im still quite young, just graduated HS, but the groups you are talking about are meant to be flexible. 
  But yeh i get what you are saying, I have three 'freindgroups'' that do the stuff you are saying, and yeh you could say you are more close with one person out of a group of 10, but thats natural. a group will usually form around mutuals all linked together by one person, whoever invited the person into the group to begin with will naturally have the strongest bond. the three main people of each group, as it usually comes, are the closests and if the group stops being a group the three people will probably stay freinds and just form a new group or join one together. That happened to one of my groups, a guy had gotten into a fight with another from some other group, and he took his two main freinds in his group and joined with us. i clashed with the new guys, so four of us left and joined a different group. 
  But freind groups are not ovverated. they allow for a larger variety of experiences. If its just three people the amount of parties, events, gathos and dinners you will go to is much smaller than if u have 10 people. the amount of friends youll have outside of the group is 10x larger. the converstaions will also be better, becuase yes you can have your serious convo with your main freinds, but if you are with 9 other people you can talk about a lot more topics. i had people who were drivers, gym guys, rowers, into cars, rugby guys, if it was just the rugby and gym guy the conversation would be the same, but when you add the other people into the mix it makes for larger expanse of conversation. >
  
  You can have a small group of 3 friends but still have 10 friends outside of that. You'll still combine those 3 closest with other friends and hangouts, you know? I'll still have parties and gatherings to attend without having to maintain a group of ten through individual besties
