how many friends do you have?

Even though I am not sure about friendships anyone interested is welcome to try!

Michael.

I have 3 main friends. One is in the Air Force, another is going into the Navy, and the other I haven't talked to in awhile. I have a 4th friend but he moved out of state. I haven't talked to him since forever.

who needs 'em?

I know a lot of people at work, church, etc, but I have very few "close" friends. If I had to list them it would be only my parents, my wife, one person who I've know since 7th grade (18 years), and one co worker I eat lunch with a lot.

As a kid I wouldn't even open up enough to say I had aquaintances, but as I've gotten older I'd say it's been easier to do so. But I still don't feel comfortable enough with new people to develop a friendship with them, which keeps my number of friends low.

I have 3 people I would consider friends. Two are from high school so we have known each other for over half our lives. The other is my husband.

Interestingly enough I almost think there two people at work that may almost be my friends. I am very particular about who I consider a friend. I demand a lot of friends so these two would be at the easy going end of the friend continuum.

I keep on gaining and losing friends.

I have one I talk with on the net and rarely see in real life. But still a friend.

Good good. Hope you can meet the person more often.

i'm slow developing one, very slowly. i met him browsing the same records as me in the record shop about a month ago. ive seen him once since then and hopefully i'll be going to his gig on friday night. he's the opposite to me as he's really confident and has lots of friends. i hope it works out as i havent had any in the last 4 years

I think I've had two people who I could consider friends, one "normal", one autistic. The autistic friend, Cathy, is particularly special to me; she was sort of my first girlfriend. She also was mute, which made our relationship unique...it was like a real life version of a Hollywood romance (particularly of one in a movie which my screenname is based off of). I haven't seen her in 7 years though, and I really don't want to talk about why in this forum because it puts me through the ringers emotionally. (That doesn't mean I won't talk about it elsewhere, though...)

After about a 6 year period of loneliness and isolation, I came in contact with Jackie, who I'd met in a Human Relations class at Community College. Over several months, we became comfortable enough with each other that we could talk about seemingly anything and make physical contact with each other. I used to have her phone number but she changed it to avoid someone she had to put a restraining order on and I didn't realize she had a different number until after the end of Spring Quarter, by which time I was going to be unable to come in contact with Jackie without turning myself into a stalker. I wanted to be a friend in her life that wasn't f'd up like so many people she'd talked about with me, so thus I'm not going to see her for awhile.

I would like to expand this list, but it's not fun knowing that my friendships are going to eventually end abruptly...plus I can't initiate a friendship on my own to save my life. Also, I'm not even my OWN best friend right now, so I need to come to grips with myself first...and I'm doing poorly with that.

I have two people who I consider friends.

I have a few friends, not including my family, and quite a few acquaintances. Since I attend a really small school, everyone knows everyone else. Unfortunately. I have one or two friends from church, three or four from school and a few from swim team, as well.

In addition to that, I have several online friends/acquaintances/correspondents. Between here, role-playing and trying to keep in touch with people who I don't see anymore, I probably spend more socializing time online than I do in real life.

I only have one friend. I don't even have any other sort of semi-friends.
