Are your best friends the work companions or the college classmates?

I guess it depends on your invironment. When I worked a lot of my friends were co-workers. As I went to college a long time ago and in another state I dont have them anymore. My husband's friends seem to be from his on-line poker games. We've met a couple of them and they are nice.

Hello tracy1985,
I know my two best friends since our college days and it was like 15-20 years ago. Wow! I can't imagine too, that we have been friends for a long time. My office mates are only friends during 'work time' while during my free time, I have another 'set of friends' whom I often spend my times with... Sometimes, once a while, I do have gatherings with all my friends; no matter be it friends from my childhood time, college days, my office mates or just my neighbours *smile*

My best friends are people I've met just doing things.
I still have school friends, very few who I would call "a" friend but I don't have any from work. Normally I keep myself to myself and away from others, they're not exactly who I'd like to be around.
No offence to them but I could b*tch about people twenty four seven and remain in the dark.:)~Joey

My best friends are from college. As we have known each other for a long time, and that is the real friendship. As to the colleagues, I have to say that sometimes I am unable regard them as my friends. They are just my colleagues.

i got 3 best friends. one from my child hood friends, one from highschool and one from college. i can say that we really are bestfriends still despite the years of not seeing and hanging out with each other. even though we don't have communication, they are still my best friends.

Neither,my best friend in my heart is the two guys in highschool. You know , when coming nearer to the society,we have concerned more about ourselves....it is really sad...

I believe my best friends are the friends I have made on college, and the ones from the internet and all the people I have met hanging out with the friends I already had. I really don't believe that it's possible to have real friends at work.
Usually people at work, specially if you work in the private initiative, are always conspiring against each other, trying to "pull the carpet" from beneath other people's feet. I don't trust work colleagues.
