Do you over-exaggerate? What are the pros and cons of this?

I am extremely introverted with a very small circle of close friends whose company I actively seek.
What constitutes a good friend?
there is no one answer to that, thank God. It varies, and it evolves as people change.
Would you rather have a lot of friends to hang out with or just one best friend?
it's not a matter of what I would rather. It's impossible for me to have a big group anymore. I could do that when I was in high school and college, when the situation demanded it and alcohol made it less difficult to get through with my sanity. As an adult, I have neither the 'emotional energy' nor the patience to deal with maintaining social façades and acquaintances. If I seek out your friendship and company, then you matter a great deal to me.
