How many close friends do u have?

Post Reply New Topic

I have three my age (I have a couple more that are 30, which is around x2 my age, but they love my honesty, and I love talking to somebody who understands how I'm feeling because they went through the teenage years already) at the moment (and they're true blue friends. They reported to the school when I was feeling suicidal, even though it was really hard for them. Not that the school was much help, but that's another issue), though I'm friends with a lot of other people because I'm nice. My awkwardness is minimal now, so people usually look past it and look at my sweet (and timid until I know you, then I become hyper) personality

I didn't start having friends until grade 9, before then I was rejected over and over again because they didn't like that I was different and needed explaination for all situations. I'll not continue remembering my horrible childhood because I'll start crying :(:(

Same. I've had that happen all the time (even my father ditched me) until grade 9, when I had more social skills.

What drugs are you doing? It's hard to make friends when you're not there because you're on drugs.

I have none. One less thing to worry about.

My quality control is poor. Those who have sought my 'friendship', most have been using me for one reason or another. Those who I have sought for friendship have, with various degrees of civility, told me to go away.

The very few who I've managed to construct some sort of friendship with, I've lost, because I think that they don't want me bothering them.

Hmm, in real life I have no close friends. I class a close friend as the sort of person you can see most of the time, they live locally and you can see oneanother regularly, go to their house, whatever.

I do have several good friends on the internet, one is American and I have been speaking with her pretty much every day for nearly five years. We both believe that if w were both living in the same town it would be ace, we could go to gigs, get out and about, hang out etc. It so pains me to think there's someone ace out there but they're too far away.

Another lives sort of local, but not local enough. It's not like we can just arrange to meet 10 minutes before doing so. That pains me too.

In a funny way not having a close friend or any friends in real life means that I have managed to develop my tastes free of peer pressure. I don't feel the need to conform to other people's taste quite so much. Maybe if I do meet some friends they'll suddenly start getting funny about it, but then again they might just think I am a tad eccentric - no bad thing.

Well I've found that if you give off the attitude that you're thinking theydon't want you around... they won't want you around. Self-fulfilling prophecy right there. I used t have a friend (married, moved away) and when I'd ring them I'd say "are you busy? do you mind me calling?" and one day they had a go at me saying that I shouldn't put them in a position where they have to feel bad about talking. Ever since I just ring and to hell with it, if they don't want to talk then they'll hopefully say so.

I know what you mean about being picky though. I'm very wary of new people and they have to be particularly decent to get near me. I too tend to think there's some hidden agenda, or they secretlydon't want me around, or patronise even. But sometimes I'm reminded that they are genuine and once it made me cray to think of what I'd thought.

I have none (the husband does not count) and that gives me one more thing to worry about.

I don't mind being alone a majority of the time, but when I need someone to confide in and maybe get a little support to keep going, there's no one there.

I have been accused of being picky. I'm picky because there is no way I'm getting involved again with people who won't be understanding or will use me as something they can compare themselves to feel better about themselves.

THIS. You get used to not having friends, doing your own thing, filling time, but it so hurts when you need a friend to confide in, to relax with, that sort of thing, that's when not having a good friend really hurts.

I'm not very socially isolated, but I would say I have 2 or 3 really close friends in each circle of friends I am a part of. This can make me seem more social on the outside than I actually am because I have someone to talk to in most groups I'm a part of, but when it comes down to it my friends are real spread out and in the past it has been hard to get a group together of my closest friends who all share something in common. I sort of have 2 or 3 close friends in each group and get along well with the other people in that group.

I have two close friends. One of them has AS and we're also housemates.

None, at present. I keep trying, though.

And vice versa, with genders reversed ("chick things..."). For a long time I had no friends (the few of them having all, one by one, moved away). Now I have exactly one real and close friend locally, besides my husband....who doesn't particularly care for the guy's Y chromosome. He's pretending to be ok with it, though, and I give him a lot of credit. My husband really is my best friend, has always been and will always be.

Two, but there both female, and I'm married, so, that really makes it two with a big asterisk. They are real life people, but they might as well be counted as online friends.

Just Flakey at the moment.

i dont have any right now because i dont trust anyone. all the close friends i had stabbed me in the back. i need someone who i can trust.

Well, I would say I have 2 but I only see them once every two weeks (different schools)
