How many close friends do u have?

Post Reply New Topic

I have no close friends, online or offline. I have five or so online friends, and there are people with whom I am friendly, but I don't think they qualify as friends because I see them as part of my treatment.

I'd like things to change, but I have little opportunity to make friends, let alone close friends.

Outside of my family? None (at the moment). I'm not overly pained by it one way or the other; many people are too much like hard work.

Two, both NT's, so I am definitely not in the hate NT crowd.

that depends if you want the ones that was with me the longest or the ones i liked the best.

I don't think I have any really.

I could make a concerted effort to pursue more friends...but it kinda goes against my nature.

I have one close friend (NT).

actual close friends?

probably 3 or 4. 7, actually, if i count three more that i havent spoken to for a couple of months because of distance and workload on both ends.

i have loads of acquaintances though. i'm in a new place now though so all those close friends are actually quite far away. i need to make some new ones. took me about 2 years for the group already mentioned. dunno how long its gonna take this time.

the thing is, acquaintances are easy because they dont know you personally. they know the social you, not the real person behind. after you learn small talk it is really easy to make acquaintances.

Only one in RL.

FRIENDS- over 40. I don't count.

TRUE FRIENDS- less than 1. I lie. A lot. simply to deal and get along with my friends. None know anything about ME, just what they see. I would say about 20 people consider me a close friend, cuz I let them tell me stuff I don't want to hear.
I am only ever honest to one friend And even so I don't tell them much at all ( the most being about the guy that I liked that liked me that my "friends" didn't like much, and only because she never met him. this person moved to another city and still talks to me. I don't know whether I actually enjoy their company (ie. probably not), but at least I can tell them something

The correct number for my answer to this query starts with the letter z.

Until recently I would have said I have no close friends and a range of friends/ friendly acquaintances, but this has changed due to my recent discovery of AS. I now realize that a couple of the people I know, and spend the majority of my time with, I would actually class as good friends and think would see me in the same light.

Unfortunately it has also made me realize the amount of people I have been close to and then lost contact with simply because I didn't understand the situation (My norm is to be generally quite distant and let other people I'm with deal with the social interaction- not good if the person they're talking to wants to talk to me and I don't respond).

Two. One IRL, and another online.

I'm probably going to say none because I think of a close friend as someone you can rely on and hang out with all the time.

they come and go...
when i was in highschool there were 5 of us, we were close at the time but now 15 years later i hardly know them they have their own lives and we lost touch.
in college i had 1 friend then 2, i lost contact with all of them also
at work 4 years ago i had this one friend then we lost touch when i left the company...
right now i work freelance so friendwise...nada-0... social life consist of family members and pets
