Currently, I have no close friends, 3 friendly acquaintances I know from college, 2 friendly acquaintances from high school(who I only recently started speaking to again), and a large number of online friends who I've never met in person. Every one of these people I converse with almost exclusively online.

Well, I should correct myself here. If I count my pet snake, I do have a close friend.

Currently, I have no social life. My 'social life' consists of visiting my mother and/or sister every few weeks to do drugs.

And if I get this job, I'll be perfectly content without a social life as I've got projects to work on when money permits...

not only close, i dont have friends in general. i hate it. HATE IT. and i'm one of the most friendly creatures ever invented, yet completely friendless. yay, irony!


This describes perfectly how I was in middle school. It was hell.

My sister and two online friends, one of which I talk to frequently and the other occasionally. Some other people that're friends but I don't talk to very often at all, but they might consider myself a close friend to them, dunno.

I have one close friend, and even then, I don't think we are that close, but there is this particualr bond, with us. It is strange, for this bond does seem to be a deep one. This freind is a little brother to me. So, that is the closeness. I never had a true brother, only a half brother.

I use relationships as an excuse for not making/keeping close friends.

Well regarding the earlier post, I don't have any now. She's mad b/c I didn't call her ASAP. She's also hanging out with another cool NT, so I guess I'm no longer accepted into the circle. Probably a good thing too. She's hurt me enough already so I don't think I'm going to accept another apology from for now on. I think everytime she's apologized, it was b/c someone else split from her. I don't think all NTs are like this BTW.

I used to have about 5, but I haven't seen them in a looong time, so I don't really have any at the moment. There's this one guy I hang out with sometimes, but I think we're drifting apart, as I need to do active stuff and he's more sedetary.

In my experience it almost seems like their all like that. I just don't enjoy being around someone who's always wanting a competition out of friendship. I don't think a true friend should do that to their fellow friend.

4, maybe 10 depending on how you define close.

I don't have complaints about how many friends I have. I don't really know how to make new friends though... from acquaintance to buddies.

I have 15 close friends, ranging in age from three years younger than me to 50s. All are folks I met at middle or high school in some capacity. Most were classmates but I got to be very close with some of the faculty too.

Since high school, I have met only one who sort of understands me, and it's taken her about two years to figure me out.

I'm very difficult to read sometimes and my friends said if I ever got married I'd probably marry a foreigner because of that.

None of these folks know I have AS except the faculty members. If the others know, they would have had to have diagnosed me on their own.

On the outside I don't appear too different from them...I played sports when I was younger, took/take the same classes, got my driver's license with the rest of them, got better grades than most of them, etc. The only thing I didn't do was go on dates or to the dances (though I did show up at the senior dinner dance and some of the band dances mostly as a photographer--but I never went to a prom or homecoming or other formal).

I seem to have regressed socially at college. Perhaps it's because everyone got immature when they were trying to "discover themselves" again? They can't put up with my awkwardness--lack of eye contact, inability to comprehend social situations, poor judgement of social situations, etc.

Thankfully I keep in touch with the guys I knew from high school and see them at every chance I get.

I have like, two. Mostly because everyone else ditches me somewhere along the way and stuff. ><
One is my cousin, who I trust as I've known her my whole life, and my boyfriend. :3
