Is overpopulation actually a worrying thing?

I was in a disagreement with a friend about this topic (he thought it was and I didn’t). But we both just don’t know enough about it so I came here for help on the subject. Appreciate it!

Edit: so who is (more) right, me or my friend?

Every humans needs, at an absolute minimum, food and water. Same goes for all other animals and plants as well. There is only so much possible farm land and clean drinking water on earth, even if we decided to burn down the Amazon rain forest and turn it into more human farm land. In theory there is a limit to how much can exist before we can’t feed them and they’ll starve and die, and I’d rather NOT burn down the Amazon.

We can’t grow forever. The planet is only so big and has only so much to offer. Something must give. And I’m sorry, realistically the human population is just growing too fast.
