Some people do, but I find it really hard to like most people because I have strong distaste in maintaining acquaintances or 'shallow' friends. I have always been a person that can only really dedicate to 2-3 people. This is true even on forums, where I will only PM 2-3 people at any one time, based almost entirely on my liking of them in the first place.
If I am to make another close friend, usually I have to drop one of the others. Usually it depends on how committed they are to me. If I am a person they talk to because they can't talk to someone else in real life, then I tend to not want to be friends because it isn't a 'priority' friendship. If I PM people on forums, I usually stop because that person changes their attitude, to the point where it is no longer what I liked about them.
It sounds really stingy, and it might be, but it is always redeemable. If I stopped being friends with a close friend, but then they made me feel as if the 'priority' value of the friendship was reinstated, then I instantly love them again. It is highly black and white - all or none.
