If you have a few friends, you don't have a lot of friends, but you have a small number of friends. If you have a few friends, you are probably pretty happy. If you have FEW friends, though, you might be sad. There is a big difference between "a few" and just "few." "A few" gives a positive feeling, and "few" gives a negative feeling, even though both of them mean "a small number."
