How many friends do you have?

according to facebook, i have over 200. although that's practically reclusive by facebook standards.

in real life, probably one really good one, and two more that i wouldn't say i'm super close with but i would still consider more than acquaintances. i also keep very loosely in touch with my two best friends from college; we all live in different states now but we get together once every few years and it's like no time has passed.

 

I have around 5. It seems tricker making friends in my 30's.

 

Any friends I may have had in the past are either dead or think I'm dead.... One or the other.

 

I have seven good friends, but only two of them are people I'd feel I could lean on in an emergency situation. And all if them are like 12 hours away now, so whatever.

Recently been rekindling an old high school friendship that's been on life support for years thanks to Facebook. It's got me feeling nostalgic for high school while also making me realize I'm getting older. I think I may have peaked in the late 90s/early 2000s.

 

Nonsense. We're your friends PR!

 

I have 2 super close friends, and about 100 regular friends

 

Why so?

 

Few.

 

6 good ones

4 live in this town. 2 live far away.

I know a lot of friendly faces in this little town. I run into them quite frequently at the local pub. I’m not ready to invest too much trust in them though.

 

1 friend for each eye?

 

Monica, Joey, Phoebe, Rachel, Chandler,.....5.....

 

Not including family or acquaintances, one

 

Is it me?

 

Ha, Ha, ha.....

 

SMART ASS......



Cheers Glen.

 

You talking about your old Civil war buddies

 

You started this for validation from others to see if having no real friends is ok

And you seem to quantify the definition of friends as people who can do stuff for you / you can get stuff from

This becomes a problem for lot of guys later on in life. And seemingly solely guys (and you know Im referring to straight guys). Women for the most part do tend to socialize better.

It may not be a thing now, but you should be looking/planning ahead

Not clicking with people, even not having things in common with them. These are short term reactions. You are missing out on lots of possibilities, opportunities in the long run because in the short term you couldnt be bothered

 

When it comes to emergency situations though, first thing you do is call an ambulance, then rely on doctors and your health insurance. Friends are none of these things

 

I like your friend Monica, and she likes me

 

I've had about six or seven in my life and now only two. The others have died. Anyway, I have a friend my age that I meet for beer a couple of times a month and he and his wife and me and my wife get together about three times a year. The other friend is my wife.

I think a lot of folks mistake close acquaintances for friends.
