Tian Ji in Friends usually means many friends — you're social, can talk with anyone, and your circle is full of clever, idea-rich, well-informed people. But have you noticed: you know many people but few you can truly open up to? The relationship pattern is "broad but shallow" — many friends to chat with about anything, few who help when you're in need.
