Everyone has their own definition of friend. For some a friend is someone to call up, go drink with, and never get very intimate with. For others a friend is someone you can tell anything to with immense trust. You can have loads of the first type, but only a few of the second type. In my experience, those who say they have a lot of friends belong to the first type. They do know a lot of people and they host parties, get invited to parties, etc., but they tend to not have intimate friendships. So it all depends on what you mean by friend.
