Well, it depends on your value system. If you are an introvert and prefer to have few close friends than many superficial ones, there is nothing wrong with that.
It also depends on their value systems. Some people believe that closeness means constant meeting and texting each other. Some people are more independent, secure, and possess stronger boundaries. They prefer quality over quantity. They are focused and busy with their own lives (careers, etc.) so you see them only occasionally. But when you do spend time together, you engage in deep conversations.
