Friends

Im going back to school in a couple of weeks, last year I had loads of friends none of them were best friends I just knew all of them well, this summer I have started feeling anxious about myself and I don’t like the idea of being overwhelmed with friends, I know it sounds stupid but is there anyway I can go into the next year of school, and somehow get to know a couple really well and not have as many friends, I just dont feel like I can connect with more than two people well, and tell ten people or more whats wrong when im sad if you get what I mean??
