How many friends do you have?

Three close friends- one I only get to see once or twice a year since he moved away- the other two have kids and I see them once or twice a month.

Some other acquaintences that I consider friends to a certain degree.

Now and then I like going out but I much prefer to either be by myself or with one or two other people who share common interests to me to do simple things- watch movies, take hikes, go to ethnic restaurants or go to the beach now and then.

And I am happy with my situation. It suits me just fine.

 

Something else I would like to add to what I previously said is that, if you are a true individual and have a hard time meeting people who are like you, don't trade who you are for something you're not, just so people will accept you. It's far better to be a loner and be true to yourself than conform to a group so you can be "normal" like everyone else. The few relationships and friendships I have had have been far more meaningful than if I had tons of friends, but was just playing a role to be part of the gang. Most people go through life never knowing who they really are, and to me, that's sad. Having lots of friends means nothing if they're people you're hanging around with just so you won't have to be alone.

 

I think I have a good 50 really close friends whom I can trust with anything...

...and then probably a good 200 "good" friends, ya know...

...and then more acquaintances than I can possibly count.

I love people and people love me...

Yet I can just as easily survive in complete solitude. It's nice to take a break.

I have one true friend (i married her) and a handful of close friends. I know tons of people, but stick to the few friends I have. My wife and I rarely go out and when we do it is more to be without children for an hour or so than being social.

I have quite a lot of friends I can hang out with and have fun with, and a few really close friends who I know I can always count on.

 

I have what I like to call day friends- people you just talk to during the day at school or work but dont really know you that well then I have only a few real friends- the people that have known me for years and really know who I am but I would really like to have more real friends that will get to know me but I have trouble trusting people which is why I only have a few close friends so I think I might need to work on that.
