How many friends do you have?I'm not asking about the 300 friends on your facebook friendslist (half of which you probably never even spoken to), I'm talking about REAL friends. Those whom you can trust and be rather close with. I would say I have about 5-6, I'm not really bothered if this is "not a lot" but good enough for me. Then I have around 30 friends who are, well, just friends/aqcuaintances (cba to spell) I guess?

Re: How many friends do you have?Just so we're all clear, a friend is someone who "you would not feel embarrassed to join at the bar of the transit lounge of Hong Kong airport at 3am." And apparently, it's not cognitively possible to maintain more than 150 regular acquaintances.

I don't have many acquaintances because I find that kind of relationship difficult. (i.e. tedious because i get nothing from it) If you think this causes problems, you'd be right. -

Re: How many friends do you have?Hm, this thread seems like a good thread for loners to look for some closure.
if you mean friend as in 'omg i'll tell you everything', I'd have none. But that's more to do with me not trusting anyone. If you mean friend as in 'go out, have a good time, but know **** all about your life', then yeah, I have quite a few. -

Re: How many friends do you have?I consider myself to have 0 friends. But there are a few people who wouldn't leave me the hell alone. Some of us just rather being alone and I dont understand why most people seem to have a problem with that.
