Define 'friend' please first. What are the criteria?
About 5 people. I don't have that many true friends because if a person is talking about me behind my back or not being a good friend I cut them out of my life, I don't have time for people like that tbh, I used to have tons of friends and most of them were fake and weren't even nice to me. I would rather have 1 real friend then 100 fake ones.
Ten, maybe nine close friends.

I'd rather have fake friends than no friends.


i have to agree most of my popular points were with fake friends i might get a facebook like every few months from them
in the trade i'm in you learn that you have a few real friends, several good clients, standard customers and rivals after your business

4 really .
Not a very trusting person and it takes ages for me to get comfortable enough around someone.
One close friend who I'd trust with my darkest secret, or two if I include my brother.

Someone you can trust.
I'd say 1 excluding my partner

That will always be there for you?
Students were asked to rate the friendship of other students.
93% thought their ratings would be returned.
only 53% were.
So half of the people you like don't actually like you.


0. Can't trust anyone these days.
Just 1

thats the worst definition of friend
what do you mean by 'trust' and how much trust does it count to be friend
Two. Known them for a long time and they haven't backstabbed me so I can say I fully trust them
3-4 day one _mandem

Same same same
I'd say I have about 7 true friends, 4 of them I've known for at least 5 years, but I have more acquaintances as well which I get along with. I've had bad experiences with people who I thought I could trust as friends but then spread rumours and stabbed me in back, so as a result of that I cut them out and kept the good ones.

Without a doubt, it's never happened in my life but the thought of being physically alone is terrifying.


But would you rather be surrounded by people who don't really like you? I find being alone quite peaceful tbh especially when other people get into drama :smile:
