I have 1 good friend and his brother is friendly too. We mostly play video games. I had another friend but as we got older he got a girlfriend and went to nightclubs and stuff and he thinks im weird now. One day he came on msn and asked me how old i was but he knew my age, he was just trying to say i dont act my age and im pathetic, but i dont care anymore.

Zero. I haven't associated with anyone in ten years, other than brief superficial acquaintances at university.

I have zero close or not close friends, other than my spouse and my autistic identical twins, that's it. It's not that I haven't tried to make friends, it's just that I would either end up acting like an awkward jerk or I just couldn't pull off making one. I guess feeling uncomfortable around people doesn't help.
The scariest thing is when you need a personal reference for a job and there isn't anything to fill in...

I'd say 2 or 3. 6 if I add my parents and cousins.

One of my closest friends hadn't talked to me in several months. She has had a boyfriend for quite some time now. Several months ago I posted on the FF:WA forums, of which we are/were both members, for the first time in years and she PM'ed me asking me where I'd been. I sent her an email but she never responded.

Most of my friends live some distance away, and none of my close friends live even remotely near where I attend university. It's rather sad, but better than not having any.

I have just above 30 non-related real life friends. None of them are particularly close, though...

None. I haven't been much of a friend to others it seems.

I doubt it was you. People I thought were my friends left me, when I was in need of them. It was not the other way around.

I have more associates than friends. I'm well respected as being eccentric, smart, and even "cool" by my old High School friends and if I really wanted to, I could probably go hang out with some of them. There's this one dude who's been my best friend for quiet some time, but we've been drifting. I suppose I have friends through my support groups. I had friends at college, but lost them.
