I have 3 friends I could tell anything to. The rest are mostly aquaintances that I could hang out with. When you get married you kind of inherit his friends too, whether you like them or not.
I have two friends that I can tell anything to, but one of them has been my bestfriends since I was 11. I have tons of aquaintances. And there is one onliner that I'm starting to view as a close friend.
-6 close friends that i can tell anything to them at anytime. -15 or so true friends -and a shit load of aquaintances
I've got 1 close friend. My mom. She's the best friend I've ever or will ever have. I have about 7 or 8 true friends that would be there for me if they could. I have tons of aquaintences, but a lot of them are more trouble than they're worth.
i dissaprove of the conventional friends ssytem. I dont think we should class people as friends or associatres or best friends or enemies. Everyone should be on a differnet level of friendship. Differnet friends can be friends for diffenret reasons, this gives differnet meaning to the relationship. sadly i have trouble keeping up frindships with people who i dont get involved with a lot. Ive had few friends who Ive felt i wanted to trust them with something. Most friends I jst dont want too, because i find the friendships that are all over the place are the ones I get more out of. as for numbers ive got about 5 or 6 inner circle friends (ones id trust with personal stuff rather leniently, but they arent all friends with eachother) maybe id guess around 20 friends who id hang out with often, and as usual, lots of aquaintences, on different levels but yes i disagree with classing people as a friend or not. theres just differnet levels of friendship, and of conflict. why should friendship always be associated with trusting personal openness? Ive got friends who i do whatever it is i do with that individual, and its enjoyable, sometimes friendships dont need to be cluttered by introducing personal emotional gripes. that doesnt make them less fullfilling
