Nope... I don't try to look for friends anymore because their usually my friend and I'm their acquaintance. Plus, I've been screwed over by most people I've trusted.

Not really; being alone is all I know. I've got acquaintances that I can get along with but that's it. I'm just not a friend material. I've tried all throughout my school days and they never worked out. I feel it's better if I keep to myself and stay out of people's way. I tend to be one of those people who just rub people the wrong way. People who know me after a while eventually learn to loathe me. In the end, I trust no one. You just can;t anymore.

I don't know. There's people from middle school I still know and mainly see on birthdays (a group of 4 - 8 people). But they're not really friend friends. I don't like talking about personal stuff with them. Then there's two people who I know solely over the internet, but I have known them for over 2 years now, and I feel more connected to them than to anyone I know in "real" life. I consider them my friends.

I have a few friends. Some are girls who used to make fun of me, but as far as I'm concerned, that's water under the bridge now and I'm able to laugh about what they said to me. Besides, they have done a lot of growing up since then, and I take them for the nice people they are now. I have written off the one girl though. It wasn't just me she was nasty to. That girl is poison.

Friends never have been easy for me to get, usually because I was always too shy to go and talk to people, didn't know what to say, or was afraid of giving somebody the opportunity to take the mickey out of me. I used to feel really low after those occasions. I always used to think I came across as rude and ignorant, which upset me.

I have a few friends I see sometimes. I've very recently made a new one actually which I'm pleased about.
Whenever I make a new friend my mum goes in urgent mode "get their msn! get their number! don't let this one go! see them often enough" etc etc and she's done that a lot with my newest friend because we have a lot in common.

I have a few friends at college yes but half of the time, half of them don't even turn up and it gets to the point when there is only 1 friend I can talk to there.

I do try and make new friends but it just doesn't feel quite right to me.

Yet I have tons online and before I left to college and met some place in a party or somewhere. :D
