how many (good/proper) friends do you have at your school/college. And do you wish you had more. Ill probably vote few.

There are people I sit with in lectures, but I don't think I'd call them friends because I never go out with them anywhere or see them outside university.
In school I'd say I had about 2 proper friends though.

Yeah by friends I mean not just someone you say hi too now and again but someone you can trust, joke and do stuff with.

In my school some people may think that i think of them like a friend, but i don`t because it`s only an act too hide my darkness and secrets (like that i have AS). So i can`t tell them as "friends".
But there`s two i can really call friends, they`re not on my school thoughe, one isn`t even in my country or even continent, and the other is almost on the other side of the country, but they know that i have AS and i can trust them, so they`re my friends.

It can change. It did for me. In high school I had no friends. I had aquaintances I ate lunch with, but no one I would dream of asking to do something outside of school. This semester of college has been the best of my life. I met a few people I could relate to and thus got my foot in the door to a larger social group. I now have many friends. In high school the problem with lunch is that I had no one to sit with. Now my problem is that I will walk by and people from three tables will ask me to sit with them. Then I have to turn some down because I told the others I would sit with them. My good friends are still relatively new, all within a few months. But I am well liked. I say this not to gloat. I say this to let you know there is hope. I was exactly in your alls shoes most my life. and I am 21. So it can change in a very short period when you didn't think it could. you just have to get your foot in the door of a larger social group.

On facebook I have about 200 friends

People I actually want to call when I have good news, or when I'm going through something so hard I can't do it on my own?

I have at most 4 people I can truly call friends, everyone else seems to fall under the category of "people I randomly may say hi too"

That didn't happen for me. There isn't hope for everyone. Not to put a damper on it but I don't want people to be crushed by false hope like I was when I entered college.

There's this great podcast that I listen to that hosts a ton of games over Xbox Live every week.
Here's the website
