    How many close (by close I mean, you would trust them with anything and know they would be here for you and vice versa and that time does not effect that) friends do you have? (THIS CAN BE ANYWHERE.... in your area, on line, people that moved, etc.... but close only)

    how many other true friends do you have?

    do you have a lot of acquaintences?

    there was a point to this thread but my head is in "a PLACE" tonight and i forget it but ill answer my own questions....

    question one.....i have five close friends, one of them i never met but still... one of them i live with, the rest...

    question two- i dont know, maybe 8

    and number three- i used to, but not really anymore

    I would say I have three 'best' friends that I feel I can trust with anything. Then a few other 'good' friends whom I will always stay in contact with. I have many aquantices, but these aren't really people I keep in touch with, more that I just run into at a certian time and place.

    I have a hard time trusting people
    so altho I am willing to give all to
    a few really "close" friends I really
    wouldn't say I had any real friends tho
    maybe its my untrusting attitude
    but I think most people are ganna leave
    anyway so why get too close.......
    but there is one or two that have
    gotten past that shell...to my dismay :p

    Arkansas was the only place I could afford... full scholarship, and a place in the honours college together with two semesters of internships wherever I want. The place is no where, but it is worth it for the education.

    I need to lay off drinking , drugs, and such for a while... and I think that Arkansas could prove to be the place for that.

    You have no friends because no one can possibly stand you.

    True friends? Four

    Close friends... those four plus six or seven, depending on what time of year it is (friends leave for school and dont' know how to operate email, heh)

    Many acquaintances, somewhere around two or three dozen that I wouldn't oppose hanging out with for coffee etc, though not necessarily one on one (little awkward, since I suck at carrying on a conversation by myself)

    I have friends that were very close, but are now scattered all over, perhaps I will never see many of them again.

    Here in town I have maybe 4 friends and 100 acquantances.

    Someday, maybe I will meet a group of college friends from the past, people who I lived with for years...but I'm not holding my breath...my true best friend is my wife and I'll go wherever she goes, guess its something about getting older and realizing certain things.

    Excluding family, one best friend.
    If I broke the comfortable barrier that I've been living behind for the past couple years, I'd probably have about 7 good friends.
    Countless acquaintances, I somehow get along with most people I meet.

    My best friend is my Husband. He's the one I trust with everything and anything. There is nothing I can't talk about with him.

    As for close friends I have a couple we keep in touch with via email. I moved away from everyone when we moved here so I don't have the opportunity to see them very often.

    I have lots of aquantances. Great people to talk with but never really hung out or made the frienship stronger.


    To be honest I feel out of my element hanging out with people lately. The older I get the more quiet I become. Maybe because I've been a stay at home mom for 6 1/2 years and don't get out much I feel I don't have much to talk about or contribute to conversations. I've become boring and reserved.
