A subtle trait of people with only a few friends is that they're very observant. They pick up on nuance and notice things other people miss. They pay close attention to what their friends say and how they say it. If someone is struggling, they won't put them on the spot, but they will check in privately and offer their support. A person who only has a few friends listens more than they speak, and they're a very skilled listener. They practice active listening, which means they devote their full focus to the person they're talking to and validate that person's feelings.
