How Many Friends Do You Have?

Shut up, you all have friends.

 

Friends = loyalty

 

2 friends. and circa 50 good acquaintances.

 

I have quite a few acquaintances, of varying levels of closeness, but when it comes to anyone I could describe as a 'friend', that's where things get complicated. There's only a couple of people I could describe as being 'friends', but even then there are still certain trust boundaries I don't feel I could cross with them.

I've experienced so much back-biting from others, where so-called 'best friends' have really been slagging each other down behind their backs that I just can't help but wonder what sort of things they're saying about me. Some people may consider that as being paranoid, but I see it as having due cause for concern & consequent mistrust, which is where meeting random partners for NSA sex has its advantages. You don't know them, they don't know you, and, to the best of your knowledge, you don't know any of their friends either.

 

9 Best Friends

approx. 20 friends

acquaintances (heck if I know, they come and go so fast)

 

I have many good acquaintances.. but only 2 really good friends I allow myself to confide in.

 

Ummmm....


None.

 

there are 67 people on my buddy list.

although i think at least a few of them are the same person with different usernames.

 

I have two friends. I'm leery of people that think they have a lot of friends. I would argue that the majority of people don't know how to be a friend.

 

Awww, I'll be your friend :mickey:

 

I think different people and even more so different countries have different ideas of what a friend is. I could consider some of the people at the bar friends we tell each other secrets, help each other out when needed, I would go on a trip with them if invited but truth is I realy dont know them outside of bar talk.

 

someone who loves you in the good and bad times and offers a helping hand when you need it most... or would if they could...

 

I have three coworkers, that I consider friends...that's about it. Not much for being here for 17 years Oh well, c'est la vie...

 

I would say about 8, but each for a different reason.

 

Quite a few, from professional, sporting, karate and music circles. I'd say 12, with probably another 25 people with whom I am friendly.

 

^^^^^ corrected

I'm jealous; I don't have many friends
